Social Housing Management
Asset management in the Social Rented Sector. Policy and Practice in Europe and Australia (2006)
Edited by Vincent Gruis and Nico Niebour
Language: English
Available from: Kluwer Academic Publishers
Abstract: This book fills an important gap in housing research. While
recent changes in housing policies and markets pose significant
challenges for the development of asset management within the social
rented sector, this topic has hardly been covered in international
comparative research on housing. The book provides an overview of the
state-of-the-art of asset management practice in the social rented
sector in various countries. It contains some expiring examples of some
practitioners and consultants. It enables housing managers and
policymakers to place their approach in a wider perspective.
Furthermore, it provides insight into the impact of national housing
policy on the operations of social landlords, which can be used in
support of housing policy.

Abstract: The report addresses questions raised
by the increasing involvement of social landlords in non-landlord
activities (NLA) and particularly regarding their relation to the
traditional activities and the organisational framework of social
landlords. The aims of the research project are threefold:
- to draw on the experiences from organisations working in different countries and encourage cross-national learning
- to develop a framework that will facilitate the selection of
appropriate and realistic portfolios of NLA for individual landlords
- to develop a practical method for embedding NLA within the overall organisation
