Developing safety nets for home-owners (5th March 2008)
This report explores how safety nets for home-owners could be improved by introducing the Sustainable Home-Ownership Partnership (SHOP) and a Housing Tax Credit. As mortgage repossessions rise to levels not seen since the last housing market slump in the mid-1990s, interest in improving the safety nets for home-owners is growing. This report considers: how SHOP could replace the existing safety nets with a partnership of borrowers, lenders and the government; how SHOP would be structured and funded, which risks would be covered by it, whether it would be compulsory and how it could be phased in; and how a Housing Tax Credit could complement SHOP by protecting home-owners who suffer a reduction in income without becoming unemployed as well as providing work-incentives for unemployed home-owners.

Tackling antisocial behaviour in Scotland: An action framework for social housing practitioners and governing bodies (March 2008)
A practical guide to tackling antisocial behaviour, focusing on policy and practice in Scotland. Tackling antisocial behaviour is a key activity for housing organisations across the UK. This ‘action framework’ focuses specifically on Scottish policy and practice. It uses a systematic process approach towards tackling antisocial behaviour organised in seven photocopiable core tasks. Designed to develop staff awareness, and strategic planning and monitoring, it can also form the basis of in-house training programmes.
