		Housing tenure refers to the financial arrangements under which someone has the right to live in a house.
		In the case of tenancy, the landlord may be a private individual, a non-profit organisation such as a housing association, or a government body, as in public housing.
		Surveys used in social science research frequently include questions about housing tenure, because it is a useful proxy for income or wealth, and people are less reluctant to give information about it.

	Housing tenure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Housing tenure refers to the financial arrangements under which someone has the right to live in a house or apartment.
		The basic forms of tenure can be subdivided, for example an owner-occupier may own a house outright, or it may be mortgaged.
		In the case of tenancy, the landlord may be a private individual, a non-profit organisation such as a housing association, or a government body, as in public housing.

	Public housing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The size, shape, orientation and architectural style of Germany's public housing were informed by the recent experience of the Vienese and the Dutch, the anti-urban Garden City Movement in Britain, by new industrialized mass-production and pre-fabrication building techniques, by the novel use of steel and glass, and by the progressive-liberal policies of the Social Democrats.
		One indirect result of this publicity was the American housing movement: a young Catherine Bauer attended one of May's conferences in 1930, and wrote her seminal "Modern Housing" based on research done in Frankfurt and with Dutch architect JJP Oud.
		In the United Kingdom public housing is often referred to as "council housing" and "council estate", based on the historical role of district and borough councils in running public housing.

	Best Practices & Local Leadership Programme (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Socialised and Incremental Housing Project, using alternative technology, was launched in 1993 in partnership with MISEREOR and implemented in 1995 in collaboration with the government, institutions engaged in socialised housing and the private sector.
		As a result of the initiative, the housing units were upgraded to include thermal insulation on the facades of the buildings, fitting of windows with plastic frames and insulation glazing, equipped bathrooms, reinstallation of water supply and sewage piping, and installation of centralised heating supply.
		Housing programmes were cut back, leaving the general population unable to maintain and repair their apartments and houses.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Condominium (housing)
		A condominium is a form of housing tenure.
		It is the legal term used in the USA and Canada for a type of joint ownership of real property in which portions of the property are commonly owned and other portions are individually owned.
		Another form is leasehold or ground rent in which a single landlord retains ownership of the land on which the building is constructed in which the lease renews in perpetuity or over a very long term such as in a civil law emphyteutic lease.

	Crime and Justice - Volume 8 (1987)
		The tenure picture is unlike that portrayed in the Chicago model of concentric ring development, and the distribution of British offender rates therefore does not correspond to expectations of the Chicago model.
		Bureaucratic mechanisms for allocating housing in the public rental sector have profound direct and indirect effects on offender distributions and community crime careers.
		Changes in the social composition of the area that were initiated by government changes in housing policy have made some areas into more desirable residential districts without causing dramatic declines in offender rates.

	4130.0 - Housing Occupancy and Costs, Australia, 1997-98
		Housing costs for owners with a mortgage, at an average of $205 per week, were higher than for other forms of tenure.
		Housing costs were similarly varied for one-parent households with different types of tenancy—ranging from a low average of $21 per week for owners without a mortgage to a high of $162 for those with a mortgage.
		Housing costs for recent home buyers varied according to whether the household was a first home buyer or changeover buyer, a reflection of first home buyers' larger mortgages.

	ESRC Society Today - L480254018 Inequalities in Quality of Life Among People Aged 75 Years and Over in Great Britain
		Social class and housing tenure for most of one's adult life are relevant to quality of life in addition to housing tenure in old age.
		Housing tenure continues to be associated with all five poor outcomes when area deprivation and population density are taken into account.
		Having adjusted for housing tenure and other area factors, the chances of poor morale are higher in the more densely populated areas, chances of poor mobility lower in the least deprived areas, and chances of poor home management or body care higher the more deprived the surrounding enumeration districts (using average score).

	NLIHC: National Low Income Housing Coalition - Housing Tenure
		Recent data from the Housing Vacancy Survey reveals that while households with income above the family median have increased their rate of homeownership, those below this threshold have not shown a consistent increase since at least 2002, and the growth in the rate of homeownership among minorities has begun to lag.
		Low income housing advocates should both promote the expansion of homeownership opportunities for low income people and caution against "a one-size-fits-all" policy that pushes some people into homeownership prematurely or inappropriately and does not recognize the importance of good quality, affordable rental housing for personal, family and community well-being.
		Moreover, advocates should make certain that housing counseling is not simply homeownership counseling and that families are provided a complete assessment of their own housing needs and opportunities.

	Housing Characteristics of Older Households: 1995
		Housing that is well-designed, suitably located, and affordable contributes to the ability of older persons to maintain their independence.
		In the American Housing Survey (AHS), data for housing costs are compiled as monthly estimates and presented for both owner and renter households.
		Monthly housing costs for owner households is the sum of monthly payments for all mortgages or installment loans or contracts, real estate taxes, property insurance, homeowners association fee, cooperative or condominium fee, mobile home park fee, land rent, utilities, fuels, and garbage and trash collection.

	Poverty, housing tenure and 'social exclusion'
		Rather than assisting people to participate fully in society and increasing their opportunities and life chances, housing and housing policy are increasingly regarded as contributing to the processes which disadvantage people.
		It involved mapping and analysing patterns of housing tenure and patterns of deprivation and assessing the relationship between the two.
		The implications of this are that targeting council housing is much more likely to be effective in targeting deprived groups within the white population than it is in targeting deprived groups in the non-white population.

		In many regions, the new housing supply is a function of what the local builders are inclined or able to produce, which may not be what the households in the region actually need or desire and can afford, i.e., not be cost burdened.
		Summary of Methodology and Model The Housing Needs Analysis model and its templates are based on a methodology that uses the demographics of a study area in conjunction with current regional housing tenure data to calculate the housing needs for that study area.
		After researching various demographic variables and their usefulness in predicting housing tenure, two variables—age of head of household (Age—A) and household income (Income—I)—demonstrated significantly stronger correlation with housing tenure than other variables including household size and were selected as the primary demographic variables for the model.

		Housing is a critical component of sustainability planning, because the cycle of poverty is exacerbated by a lack of affordable housing.
		The Housing Tenure Ladder is a model that acknowledges all the incremental steps in the process of securing affordable and high quality housing, beginning with homeless shelters and working up to fee simple ownership.
		Citizens and organizations in Burlington are supported at every rung of housing tenure, through the programs funded by the city and through the various businesses and non-profits that work to provide housing.

		Housing Rehabilitation Fund The intent of the Housing Rehabilitation Fund is to establish a public assistance program for homeowners who are unable to make required repairs to their property.
		Housing for senior citizens should include appropriate supporting infrastructure, in accordance with Chapter 9J5, FAC, and be located near transit routes since the elderly often lose their ability to drive due to loss of hearing or sight.
		Substandard housing is defined as housing which requires more repair than would be provided under regular maintenance in order to provide safe and adequate shelter, i.e., shaky or unsafe holes in the structure, cracks or missing material in floors, walls or roofs, rotted window sills and frames (source: Consolidated Plan, 1995).

	Developer and purchaser attitudes to new build mixed tenure housing
		In view of this it is important to build high quality housing with a mix of dwelling sizes and types that would work with different tenure mixes and to adopt approaches that require the management of privately rented property to conform to certain specified standards.
		Tenure mix policies and opposition to them from some developers have been based on concerns about the impact of social rented housing on the attractiveness of the development.
		While it is important that there is both integration of tenures and that the design of dwellings is indistinguishable between tenures, it is also important to ensure that property types and sizes do not indicate their tenure.

	UK Housing Market Yes
		Some evidence suggests that housing shortages have been largely eliminated in Britain: in the past quarter century, the proportion of households with six or more people has fallen by a factor of three, and there has been a dramatic fall in the proportion of young couples who begin marriage by sharing accommodation with their parents.
		House price inflation is high, and the numbers of homeless people accepted by local authorities in England and Wales rose from 75,000 to 88,000 in 1981-4.
		The pattern of housing supply has a strong long-term impact on demographic behaviour in all age groups, from young adults' decisions concerning childbearing to the influence of sheltered housing provision on the ability of the elderly to live independently.

		Housing poverty is the most extreme form of social inequality in Britain, according to a report published today (Wednesday) by the Institute for Public Policy Research (ippr).
		Tenants living on estates of poor housing have fared worst and the most dramatic evidence of the housing crisis is the number of homeless households in temporary accommodation, which has risen from 5,000 to 80,000 since 1980.
		This includes creating Regional Housing Executives to drive a far-reaching re-configuration of housing tenure, diversifying ownership on social housing estates and enabling social landlords to buy homes to rent in neighbourhoods of predominantly private housing.

	Housing tenure and the labour market Labour Market Trends - Find Articles
		For the majority of households, housing accounts for a big part of their monthly outlay, affects their geographical mobility and represents an important medium to store their wealth, which in turn is a key factor in determining household consumption.
		There are of course many other aspects to housing than those connected with the labour market, such as social exclusion and access to amenities, which are not discussed here.1 The relationship between the housing market and macroeconomic management also falls out of the scope of this article.
		Housing is a highly costly commodity, and the different choices of housing have very different financial implications.

	Mixed tenure
		Mixed tenure is generally seen as a good thing but can be defined differently at different times and places.
		The success of mixed tenure housing requires new and more intensive approaches to management that will cater for all residents' needs.
		This discrimination could be through design with noticeable differences between private and affordable housing, or on schemes where social housing tenants are allocated to or excluded from parts of the development site.

	Housing Monitor 1997
		Of the three tenure groups with recurrent housing costs (excluding outright owners), income is not only important for access to housing, but the amount of income expended on housing will determine both housing adequacy and the amount of money available for other necessities.
		As an index of how much housing costs affect people's livelihood, it is generally accepted that low income households are likely to find housing costs a burden if those costs take up more than 30 per cent of their total household income.
		Income differences by tenure are shown in Figure 1, which demonstrates the importance of income for entry into home purchase, something beyond the scope of most public renters, and some private renters.

	The challenges of a new tenure structure - UNECE assesses Armenia's housing sector - 03env_n02e.htm
		Thanks to the wholesale privatization of housing in the 1990s, 96% of Armenia’s housing stock is now in private hands.
		This is one of the findings of the Country profile on the housing sector of Armenia, a study which the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) is preparing for publication in early 2004.
		An integrated and encompassing approach to Armenia’s housing sector is therefore needed and it is hoped that the Country Profile will encourage the Government to develop such an approach.

	SSRN-Cooperative Land Banks for Low-income Housing by Shann Turnbull
		Government ownership of land and housing, on the other hand, is grossly inefficient and many socialist countries are turning towards home ownership schemes to combat the growing inefficiencies.
		He is free to sell his house and his shares, but his shares are sold to the community land bank, which in turn sells them to the new buyer at a higher price.
		Our current perception of land tenure is inherently bound up in the historical period we live in and in the existing relationships within the societies of which we are a part.
