Launch of anti-poverty Programme
JRF is exploring the relationship between housing and poverty to identify effective housing solutions for people living in poverty. The web pages includes a blog provided by Kathleen Kelly, Policy and Research Manager at JRF. The blog gives a short outline and description of the programme. Go to http://www.jrf.org.uk/work/workarea/housing-and-poverty
The programme, which runs from 2013-2017, builds on what JRF has learned from their work on housing for young people; tackling housing market volatility and housing and migration and other programmes about housing and communities.
Evidence reviews
A number of evidence reviews are also being commissioned to inform JRF's anti-poverty strategy. The most relevant to HSA members is likely to be area regeneration and localisation the deadline for which is 6th February 2013.

What progress has been made on creating a more sustainable housing market?
Volatility has plagued the UK housing market for four decades. The JRF Housing Market Taskforce identified ways to create a more sustainable housing market, suggesting credible long-term policy options to avoid extreme house price fluctuation and protect vulnerable households from its effects. One year on, our new paper follows up this work, assessing the Government’s progress in tackling volatility.For more information and to download the report please click here
The implications of the
2008-based household projections for estimates of housing need
Alan Holmans’ new article has now been published in
the September issue of the TCPA journal.
The 2008-based household projections show an increased number of households because of the rise in population caused by continuing high inward migration. In terms of housing need, the new projections imply a 10% increase in the proportion needing social housing or private renting with the aid of housing benefit. This largely results from increasing numbers of lone parents.

Placed-based policies in deprived neighbourhoods
The Equalities and Human Rights Commission published rapid evidence review led by Dr Peter Matthews Gina Netto and Kirsten Besemer. The report – 'Hard to Reach' or 'Easy to Ignore' - analyses what impact place-based policies to tackle socio-economic deprivation might have on the equalities of groups protected under UK legislation.
The analysis brought together a wide range of literature along with new analysis of 2001 Scottish Census data and the Scottish Health Survey to enable us to better understand the intersection between the most deprived neighbourhoods in Scotland and the spatial distribution of equalities groups in Scotland. One of the key findings is that place-based policies are often unintentionally blind to equalities issues, or protected equalities groups such as the disabled or lone parents, are treated as problematic.

In May 2011 the JRF’s Housing Market Taskforce report outlined measures the Government should take to limit the extent and consequences of housing market volatility. This report provides a review on progress since then. It concludes that in some ways we are moving away from the goal, and that the Government continues to be too timid concerning actions that are needed to bring about greater housing market stability. The authors highlight some priorities.
