The 2008 version of ‘All You Want to Know about Local Authority Housing Finance’ is a useful 100-page introduction and companion to the complex and important subject of local authority housing finance.

It is designed for people who are not experts in housing finance, but who need to understand the basics and achieve an overview of what is going on. It is suitable for housing managers, tenant representatives, councillors and finance staff who have no experience of the housing revenue account and others who realise that an understanding of housing finance can place them at an advantage!
