  3. Housing in Scotland – a Hybrid

  4. A Yes Vote • Ending the Bedroom Tax • Options for welfare reform via the Expert Group – separating HB from the revised Universal Credit • Housing the long term inflow of migrants? • The future of local taxation • Market stabilization and mortgage lending? • Promoting the rental market

  5. A No Vote • Ending the Bedroom Tax through devolving HB • Local Combined HB/Supply funding • Some form of Universal Credit retained • Devo-max and widening social security and tax-raising powers • Retaining HM Treasury-sourced policies

  6. The Scottish Approach • Characterized by integration, an outcomes-focus, a national performance framework, sector-based indicators, Single Outcome Agreements and locally articulated through community planning partnerships • This bipartisan Scottish Approach is here to stay

  7. Key Principles • The Scottish Approach has the following key features: • Partnership-based • Assets-based • Co-produced • Fundamentally about preventative spending • Operates locally through single outcome agreements determined by Community Planning Partnerships (the principal unit of observation and delivery institution) • Policy and practice is explicitly evidenced and evaluated

  8. Conclusions • Short term focus will be on welfare benefits • Negotiations or Elections will shape the medium term • But housing will become more integrative, preventative and outcomes-focused at CPP level • Is housing practice ready? • Where is the real radicalism?
