Housing associations have been given an eight-day
ultimatum to decide the future of the sector – and of its tenants –after David
Orr and communities secretary Greg Clark revealed they’d brokered a deal on
Right-to-Buy . The proposed deal
effectively offers housing associations a way to swallow the bitter pill
of RTB on their own terms – and indeed to potentially benefit from it
commercially – but where it leaves the sector's poorest tenants over the long term
is as yet open to question. This is a quid pro quo deal; in return for accepting
RTB, it claims to offer housing associations full compensation for properties
sold, claims to guarantees the sector's continued independence, and deregulate
its operating framework to give it more flexibility in the types of homes its
builds. Read more on the Housing Excellence website.
