The Hills Report into Social Housing
On 20 July 2006 Ruth Kelly announced an independent assessment of social housing to be led by Professor John Hills of the London School of Economics (LSE).
The terms of reference for the study were to help the Secretary of State "stand back and ask what role social housing can play in 21st Century housing policy".
In particular it was to consider certain key questions:
- what can social housing do in helping create genuinely mixed communities?
- can the way we run it encourage social mobility and opportunities, including in the labour market, for people to get on in their lives?
- can social housing and other support be more responsive to changing needs and enable greater geographical mobility?
The summary and full report of the study, Ends and Means: The Future Roles of Social Housing in England (external link), was published on 20 February 2007 on the London School of Economics (LSE) website.
