The impact of welfare and tenancy reforms on housing associations: An evidence review

This evidence review is part of a project exploring the impact of welfare reforms on housing associations. It has been carried out through the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Research, a multidisciplinary partnership between academia, housing policy and practice. A second publication reports on a scoping study, which is based on interviews with a number of housing associations and stakeholders (see: Hickman et al, 2018).

The review considers the impact of a series of welfare and tenancy reforms on housing associations. It includes a range of academic, peer-reviewed literature, research reports, and policy evaluations. However, much of this research was conducted before or early on in the roll-out of welfare reforms, and it is important to add to this evidence base with contemporary research
