House to home: giving social housing tenants a place to call home
A case for the provision of basic decoration and floor covering in social housing, along with access to furniture packages.
Recommendations:
- Social housing could be more effective in reducing poverty if basic decoration, flooring and the option of low-cost furniture packages were provided with it.
- Social housing providers can respond to tenants needs by providing a higher void standard and furniture packages.
