Mobility and Social Housing (2nd July 2008)
This third paper in the Planning for the Future series looks at mobility and social housing – who moves between houses within the sector, who moves out of social housing completely, and what the different motives of each group are. As the first paper in the series pointed out, mobility within social housing and moves to other tenures are not as significant as they are for other sectors. While from a housing management viewpoint such stability has advantages, it also carries a warning: social tenants might not be as mobile as they need to be if they are to improve their economic circumstances and get jobs (or get better jobs).
