Riassunto

The provision and management of social housing for those who are unable to access the housing market is essential to the maintenance of the fabric of society. The social housing industry is vast and still growing. There are very few countries in the world where some form of subsidised housing does not exist, and the total number of social homes is likely to grow worldwide, as are the challenges of the sector.

Paul Reeves takes a people-centred approach to the subject, describing the themes that have run through provision of social housing from the first philanthropic industrialists in the 19th Century though to the increasingly complex mixture of ownerships and tenures in the present day. The management of housing forms a key part of the book, with an emphasis on the practical aspects of tenant participation and multi-agency working.

The book is ideal for students of housing and social policy, and for housing professionals aiming to obtain qualifications and wanting a broad understanding of the social housing sector.

·Comprehensive introduction to the fundamental issues in social housing
·Illustrated with examples and cases from the UK and Europe
·Clear and easy to follow text

Recensione:

An Introduction to Social Housing delivers its promise ... its merit is that the author is careful to ground his explanations in housing practice.

An Introduction to Social Housing will continue to be listed as 'essential reading' for students on many professional and academic courses ranging from pre-degree to foundation degree programmes and above, with clear justification.

As a starting point for students of housing studies there are few better texts in terms of either scope or explanation'.
