The tension and our thesis
The tension
Light Public Housing has cut waiting times faster than anyone expected, but it does so with temporary stock whose end date, successor homes and reusable parts are not yet set out.
Our thesis
Plan the exit now: publish end-of-term dates, sequence the offers and reuse the modules.
Three policy problems this brief examines
- 01A time-limited stock with an open-ended promise
- 02Waiting time leans on temporary stock
- 03Sites and modules have no published afterlife
Each problem is developed in three layers: the fact, why it persists, and the consequence for the system.
Three options compared
A · Extend: keep projects operating beyond five years at present sites.
B · Planned handover: publish end-of-term dates, sequence offers and relocate modules.
C · Let it lapse: return sites on schedule with no replacement.
The scored comparison, the justified recommendation with its phased measures, the implementation challenges, the stakeholder assessment and the success metrics are in the full brief.
