Featuring analysis from a wide range of commentators looking at issues affecting housing such as housing need, delivery of new homes, the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic, fire safety, and housing costs. The briefing also takes a look at the direction housing in the devolved nations may take and what can be learned from this.

The first edition(then called the Housing Finance Review) first appeared in 1993. This mid-year Briefing is the eighth in a series, complementing the main Review now published annually in the early Spring.

These will only emerge with time, however, and for the moment the most significant recent events, taken into account here, are the March Budget and the devolved government elections in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

This year’s review and briefing have been written by CIH policy adviser John Perry, Steve Wilcox, former professor of housing policy at the University of York, and Peter Williams, departmental fellow at the Cambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research.
