“…Mullins 2014has shown that steer towards corporate governance involve a far greater focus on risk management and mitigation, creating difficulties in involving resident representatives at Board level despite the rhetorical commitment to localism and resident involvement (see also Bradley, 2011). Billis (2010) and Mullins, Czischke and van Bortel (2012) use the term 'hybridity' to characterise how housing associations operate in a sphere between state, market, and civil society that require a 'balancing act' (Blessing, 2012, p.205) to reconcile often incompatible sets of rules, for example to provide local accountability; to access private finance; to reassure regulators and to engage with residents.…”

This paper has two aims: to provide a critical commentary on the value of neoliberalism in explaining contemporary housing policy and to critically examine recent practices that have been shaped by ideas most commonly associated with neoliberalism. It begins by distinguishing different interpretative variants of neoliberalism and some of the criticisms regarding its explanatory capability. Taking the example of housing associations in England, the paper makes use of Dardot and Laval's (2013) notion of 'entrepreneurial governmentality' to interpret how contemporary welfare professionals attempt to reconcile the competing tensions of individualism and egalitarianism in practice. Amongst the arguments put forward is that the extension of commercialism, commodification and competition has generated new fissures and dissonance within the sector. The conclusion suggests that contemporary variants of neoliberalism are best understood as a rationality that establishes entrepreneurial governmentality across sectors of government, the economy and social life.
