Implementing Self-Financing For Council Housing

CLG have issued a document that sets out the rationale, methodology and financial parameters for the reforms to the council housing finance system in England - 'self-financing'. It also outlines the wider policy context, including those policies that will support the successful implementation of this devolved system. The document's purpose is to provide local authorities with the information they need to begin their detailed preparations for self-financing. It is also intended to support Parliament's deliberations as it scrutinises the powers necessary to introduce self-financing set out in the Localism Bill. The publication is accompanied by the following documents: * A model which applies the settlement methodology to the data to
provide indicative figures for each local authority.
* A user guide to accompany this model.
* A report on the model inputs, assumptions and outputs.
