How far do landlords’ strategic and business plans explicitly account for the needs of people experiencing poverty?

This scoping report presents the findings from the first stage of a project that is exploring where poverty fits within the strategies, policies and business plans of local authorities, housing associations and private landlords.

The report:

  • considers the role of housing providers in reducing poverty;
  • reviews the policies and strategies of housing organisations in relation to the needs of households experiencing poverty;
  • presents a framework for future analysis of provider strategies.
