“…It can be argued that the combination of the UK housing market characterised by 'liberal market economy' (Kemp and Kofner, 2010), huge asset inequality and housing affordability crisis (Dorling, 2014), and the ongoing direction of housing and social security policy will continue to funnel more low income and disadvantaged households into the HMO sector. UK social security reforms, including those contained in the Localism Act 2011 and the Welfare Reform Act 2012, are part of this trend.…”

Housing in Multiple Occupancy (HMO) includes some of the UK's worst housing stock. The tenants typically have reduced housing and social security rights, as well as reduced control and sometimes absence of basic domestic energy services. Yet, HMO is largely absent from UK policies governing energy efficiency and fuel poverty. Energy vulnerability in HMO is exacerbated by a lack of representation and recognition of HMO in official systems and statistics on the housing stock, socio-cultural preferences for traditional single-family homes, and widespread tenure prejudice based on negative imagery about HMO. An indicative typology of HMO is proposed based on five main tenancy scenarios: illegal/informal; rooms in a shared house; group of sharers; bedsits; and poorly converted flats. The purpose is to improve the recognition and inclusion of the variegated HMO sector in policy frameworks and public debates in a more nuanced fashion.

“…By 1971, the Federal Government implemented a new regime of rent and eviction controls that remains in place today (Kemp and Kofner 2010). In 1989, federal tax reform placed not-for-profit housing companies on the same footing as forprofit landlords.…”

“…Indeed, there have been at least 30 years of attempts in the UK to encourage institutional investment in rented residential property, most of them having met with only lukewarm success to date (Crook & Kemp, 2010). Britain's rental market is dominated by small landlords-individuals and couples typically with one or two properties-in what is commonly described as a 'cottage industry' (Crook & Kemp, 2010) or 'sideline activity' (Kemp & Kofner, 2010). Recent studies (e.g.…”

This paper provides a commentary on the contemporary housing crisis in England and links it to broader questions of role of housing in capitalist economies and societies. It starts with the assumptions that housing and community development issues are linked to the wider housing market and that the housing crisis is not new but has long-run antecedents. The paper begins by reviewing the contemporary terrain of housing markets and policies in the UK. It then discusses several aspects of 'crisis': market volatility, rates of new supply, affordability, state welfare subsidies and sociospatial inequalities. Policy responses to these are examined through a discussion of efforts to expand the role of the private rented sector, sell-off 'expensive' public housing and curtail market renewal investments. The paper concludes that current conceptualisations of the value of housing are often partial and insufficiently integrative and that policies must explicitly recognise housing as a social and economic asset.
