All You Want to Know about Local Authority Housing Finance in Wales 2010

All You Want to Know about Local Authority Housing Finance in Wales" is a useful 88-page introduction and companion to the complex and important subject of local authority housing finance in Wales.

Local Authority Housing Finance in Wales is going through a period of change with Councils implementing the Welsh Housing Quality Standard, providing services on the basis of the 2010/11 subsidy settlelment, seeking value for money and efficiencies and in some cases considering the implications of stock transfer.  The Welsh Assembly Government is also considering self-financing as an alternative to the Housing Subsidy system on a similar basis to that which is being proposed in England.  This year has seen a change of government at United Kingdom level.  In the autumn the 2010 Comprehensive Spending Review will take place with the new government seeking economies as a way of reducing their budget deficit.
