  • Why Scotland Still Needs an 'Ending Homelessness' Action Plan
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Policy Reviews 131 Delivering the Right to Housing? Why Scotland Still Needs an ‘Ending Homelessness’ Action Plan Isobel Anderson Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Stirling, Scotland, UK \ Abstract_ In 2018, the Scottish Government launched the ‘Ending Homelessness Together Action Plan’, just 6 years after the earlier ‘2012 target’ for implementation of the previous major review of homelessness policy. Scotland had introduced a modernised legislative framework for homeless- ness, with the Homelessness etc. (Scotland) Act of 2003, strengthening the legal rights of homeless people to assistance with housing. Using a policy analysis framework, this paper revisits the impact of the earlier legislation, identifying perceived gaps in implementation, which framed the context for further review. The paper examines the work programme of the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Action Group (HARSAG), which contributed to policy review, and outlines key components of the 2018 action plan. The analysis reflects critically on the potential for meaningful progress on ending homeless- ness over the five years from 2018-2023. Given international interest in prior homelessness policy in Scotland, this research was conducted to inform a European and wider international audience of the further ambitions to end homelessness in Scotland. The study adopted desk-based methods, drawing on published administrative data on homelessness, publicly available policy and practice documents, and the wider research evidence on homelessness. The analysis demonstrates that while the Scottish approach still compares favourably internationally, robust commitment to policy delivery, as well as monitoring of implementation and review of outcomes all remain essential to ensure policy effectiveness.

  • Government Earmarks SEK 1 Million for Promotion Initiatives Swedish Music, Fashion and Digital Games Are a Few Industries That Can Promote the Image of Sweden Abroad
    2010 Press release 31 August 2010 Ministry for Foreign Affairs Music and fashion to put Sweden on the map - Government earmarks SEK 1 million for promotion initiatives Swedish music, fashion and digital games are a few industries that can promote the image of Sweden abroad. They are three creative industries that have a good reputation beyond our borders, and there is a great deal of interest in them. This is why the Government is now investing even more in the experience industry, especially since we have seen that activities previously conducted abroad have generated a lot of interest and received a positive response. These investments have helped to attract more tourists to Sweden and created an interest among foreign entrepreneurs in business opportunities. Our talented songwriters, designers and others involved in the experience industry abroad have helped to put Sweden on the world map. For a small country, Sweden has a strong position as an exporter of music - we are ranked fifth after other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The music business is an important part of the Swedish experience industry, which is an expanding export industry and a major growth sector. In 2009, the experience industry accounted for over 5 per cent of Sweden's GDP, and it employs 280 000 people. "We have seen that the experience industry is very important for people's image of Sweden abroad. When I'm out travelling, I often hear how people associate Sweden with Abba, Max Martin, Robyn, DICE and Odd Molly. This is why it's really important that we promote this sector, so that we can become even stronger and more talked about beyond our borders," says Minister for Trade Ewa Björling, who is responsible for promoting the image of Sweden.

  • Housing Under Hawke: Promise and Performance
    HOUSING UNDER HAWKE: PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE CHRIS PARIS 1. Introduction This paper aims to assess the housing performance of the Hawke Labor Government, mainly in the light of its stated objectives. 1 It is important to recognise that any government would be faced with problems arising from the housing requirements of a growing and changing population: decreasing household size, an ageing population, high rates of household break-up (through separation and divorce) and re-formation ("blended families"), more young, single households and fewer traditional nuclear families (see, Burke, Hancock and Newton, 1984). Many other issues, such as changing patterns of economic activity throughout Australia as well as the effects of migration (internal as well as international) further complicate any analysis of Australian housing. The general economic climate, too, has major effects on housing. High interest rates, in particular, have widespread effects which are by no means confined to housing. The focus here is on the major housing programs of the Hawke Labor Government, with special reference, firstly, to the effect of government policies on the production of housing and, secondly, to questions of equity in access to the benefits of federal housing policy. 2. ALP Housing Policy: from Opposition to Government. Labour will lift homebuilding activity to 135,000 starts in its first year, 145,000 in the second year and 160,000 in third and subsequent years ... Labour is opposed to deregulation of the financial system ... An ALP government will set up a Department of Housing and Urban and Regional Affairs ... An ALP government will expand and upgrade the supply of public housing, with a goal of doubling over 10 years the proportion of total dwelling stock held in a variety of public tenures through state and local initiatives.

I would like to thank all those who responded to our consultation paper ‘Better Homes for People in Wales’, which we issued in January this year. Your contributions have helped to further refine the proposals formulated following the work of the four housing strategy task groups. There was a broad endorsement of the majority of our draft proposals and this is reflected in this strategy document. You will see also evidence of our acting upon your views, in amending and supplementing those proposed measures, where we had not got things right. A similar format has been adopted in setting out our strategy, which seemed to generally meet with approval, enhanced where ‘Better Homes’ was considered deficient. However, we will in future be providing these housing policies in a loose-leaf format so that we can update wherever necessary to ensure the strategy remains a dynamic document. We have a clear and unequivocal vision for housing in Wales with the introduction of an explicit statement of intent.

  • Towards a National Housing Strategy
    TOWARDS A NATIONAL HOUSING STRATEGY Professor Dave Adamson, OBE Research and Development, Compass Housing Services FOREWORD In 1945 Australia faced an unprecedented shortage of housing and the 1944 Commonwealth Housing Commission identified the need for 700,000 new homes. Despite a skills and materials shortage and the financial difficulties of the post-war economy, the Commonwealth Government built 670,000 homes in ten years. This document identifies a housing supply and affordability crisis similar to 1945. It also recognises an absence of planning and strategy capable of providing a solution. In this document we identify a central role for the Commonwealth Government in shaping the economic, political and cultural environment in which housing is provided. The United Nations Charter of Human Rights asserts that ‘adequate housing’ is a fundamental human right. However the UN Rapporteur on Human Rights, following an Australian visit in 2007, concluded that Australia was failing to deliver that right. It identified the absence of any co-ordinated national strategy for housing as the primary cause of that failure. This document takes as its starting point the provision of housing as a human right. We also suggest that providing adequate housing for all those who need it is a responsibility of government. A National Housing Strategy, developed and led by a Housing Minister, is an essential ingredient of ensuring that every member in Australian society has access to adequate housing. Providing adequate housing is an investment in future generations. It will benefit the health and wellbeing of all residents of Australia. It will be an economic stimulus as it was in 1945 and 2008, and contribute generally to the efficient functioning of our regions, cities, towns and communities.
