Problems with housing finance could be improved if
housing investment was treated more like other key economic infrastructure such
as transport, energy and skills, a report by IPPR North has said. It argues
that there is greater justification for using public funds to invest in housing
in areas of ‘marginal viability’ to support wider economic benefit and
recommends raising the HRA borrowing cap and more use of housing bonds and
local authority pensions funds to support housing investment. Download the
report from the IPPR website.
