In brief: The link between housing and drug treatment outcomes (29th August 2008)
In 2004 the Audit Commission pointed out an over-emphasis on treating drug addiction and a lack of emphasis on providing the support necessary to bring order to chaotic lives. The connection between drug misuse and homelessness is a strong one but despite this, agencies and commissioners who support homeless drug users often work in isolation from each other. The Clean Break project focused on how housing and drug treatment services can work together more effectively and makes recommendations for future improvements.

Clean Break Final Report
Housing aspirations and shared ownership (29th August 2008)
Shared ownership allows a household to buy a share of their home (typically between 25% and 75%) and pay an affordable, but not social/regulated, rent on the remainder (usually to a housing association). In this paper, shared ownership is considered as distinct from schemes such as Open Market HomeBuy, which involves an equity loan, and from the right to buy, which involves an outright purchase but at a discount.

Social Housing and Worklessness: Qualitative Research Findings (26th August 2008)
In his recent review of the future role of the social rented housing sector, John Hills (2007) observed that levels of worklessness within the social rented sector are disproportionately high, even when taking into account the relatively high levels of disadvantage apparent among the tenant base. This report presents the key findings to emerge from a study commissioned by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) that set out to explain the relatively high levels of worklessness apparent within the social rented sector.
