Self-financing changes in a nutshell
• End to the housing subsidy system for stock-owning authorities
• Debt allocations based on net present value of 30 year projections of subsidy allowances & assumed rents
• Recognition that it costs more to manage & maintain the stock than allowed for by the subsidy management and maintenance allowances
• End to capital receipts pooling (replacement mechanism for RTB receipts)
• Rents still to be controlled centrally through social rent policy & rent convergence, but no financial mechanism for Government to encourage compliance
• Authorities are responsible for their own debt (within debt cap constraints)

Key questions
• HRA borrowing levels Max debt or repay early?
• Tailored rent policy/ Affordable rents Max income vs. affordability?
• Local stock investment standard Decency or a higher standard?
• Rebalancing/ Rationalisation Is this the stock we need?
• Self-build programme What can we afford to build ourselves?
• Development partnerships How can we work with others to achieve more?

Experience so far
• We are seeing a wide variety of priorities from different clients
− Some are focusing primarily on new build/ supply
− Some are looking at investment standards
− Some are reviewing the suitability of their existing stock
− Others are concerned with rent levels
• Typically the approaches taken are multi-faceted

HRA direct development
31
Self-build using HRA borrowing capacity and revenue surpluses
• On HRA land – infill and estate regeneration; or other council land and privately acquired land
• In competition with resources for stock investment needs
• Commuted s106 funding and RTB receipts could be applied
• Debt cap limits level of development
Q. Does the scale of development possible under the HRA debt cap meet your Council’s ambitions?

Stock Reform Development Partnership
32
• To support stock rationalisation, rebalancing and optimisation
• Releasing value through void stock transfer and re-investment
• Transfer to RP (or JV) for use as affordable rent housing
• Net receipt recycled to RP (JV) for investment in new homes
Issues:
Alternative to disposal – units available to meet housing need
Transfer could be to Council ALMO or SPV – but consent required and GF borrowing
Receipts could be used through HRA but debt cap will limit development capacity
Q. Are you considering selected disposals – could transfer and re-investment be an alternative?

Issues

Is this an alternative to GF land disposal?
