This book was released on 2007-07-19 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A workless household is defined as a household that includes at least one person of working-age (men aged 16-64 years and women aged 16-59 years) where no one in the household aged 16 or over is in employment. Currently, there are about three million households, containing 1.7 million children, who still have no-one in work. Evidence suggests that many adults in workless households would like to work, but that they face multiple barriers to work, such as low skills, disability, a lack of affordable and flexible childcare, or caring responsibilities and may have been on benefits for a long time. The NAO report examines the effectiveness of Department for Work and Pensions' employment programmes aimed at workless households in England, focusing on two programmes: the New Deal for Lone Parents and the New Deal for Partners. The report finds that these programmes are making a difference for those who take part, but more needs to be done to reach out to workless households and to increase awareness of the support available and help people to prepare for and find work.

Download or read book Homeless written by Gerald Daly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The causes of homelessness are disputed by both Right and Left. But, few would argue that life on the streets is anything other than dangerous and debilitating. Unemployment, deinstitutionalisation, abuse in the home are among the stories the homeless tell. Voluntary organisations point to the failure of emergency shelters and food banks, the cut-backs in social programmes and the severe shortage of affordable housing. On the international scale, the changing global system has placed new demands on the economies of Europe and north America which have impacted on resources, employment and even political will. This book is the first comprehensive international study of homelessness. The author argues that the category of the homeless must itself be broadened, to encompass those chronically without shelter to those in immediate risk of dispossession, if homelessness is to be tackled effectively (before and after it happens) by public policy, voluntary organisations and the individuals themselves.

Book excerpt: The 'Right to move' gives every social housing tenant the right to require their landlord to sell their current property and replace it with one of the tenant's choice. Tenants can move to get work, cutting unemployment. Or to take a better job, raising tax revenues. Or to be near good schools, raising educational standards. Or simply because they do not like their current house and location. The 'Right to buy' was one of the Thatcher government's defining policies, offering new opportunities to many social tenants. The 'Right to move' offers opportunities for all social tenants. It can be a defining policy for this decade - publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of specially commissioned essays by distinguished housing scholars addresses the big issues in contemporary debates about housing and housing policy in the UK. Setting out a distinctive and coherent analysis, it steers a course between those accounts that rely on economic theory and analysis and those that emphasize policy. It is informed by the idea that the 1970s was a pivotal decade in the second half of the twentieth century, and that since that time there has been a profound transformation in the housing system and housing policy in the UK. The contributors describe, analyze and explain aspects of that transformation, as a basis for understanding the present and thinking about the future. The analysis of housing is set within an understanding of the wider changes affecting the economy and the welfare state since the crises of the mid 1970s.

Download or read book The Supply of Rented Housing written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Communities and Local Government Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rented housing accounts for some 30 per cent of Britain's housing stock. The supply of rented housing is a crucial element of the programme of action necessary to achieve the aim of a decent home, at a price people can afford, within a sustainable community. More supply of rented housing is needed: 50,000 social rented homes need to be completed each year to meet new demand and tackle the backlog. Further significant increases in supply in the private rented sector will require large institutional investors to be attracted back to the sector. Tax and regulatory reform are the levers which will encourage such investment. Meanwhile, there are improvements to be made to the existing stock in both the private and the social rented sectors which will both improve supply and improve the experience of the tenants. The efficiencies which have been brought to the refurbishment and construction of social rented homes by the growth of housing associations, the ring-fencing of local authority landlord accounts and the introduction of ALMOs now need to be applied to the management of the existing social rented stock. Better regulation is the imperative in the private rented sector. Good foundations exist to introduce a system of accreditation devised by trade bodies and enforced by local authorities, with the ultimate oversight of the new regulator of social housing, Oftenant. The Government now needs to build on those foundations, and to add to them further financial and regulatory incentives to private landlords to manage and maintain their stock effectively. The Committee calls for the creation of mixed communities to pervade all spatial and housing policy, and for local authorities to be given the freedom, support and resources necessary to pursue this aim.
