英国社会住房的角色和功能正在被重新塑造。目前正在推行一项彻底的改革方案，以应对该部门显然未能成为一种有效的福利服务，助长了依赖性而不是社会流动性。本文通过探讨社会住房和失业之间的关系，探讨了这一改革议程的基本逻辑，并考虑了一些潜在的后果。根据对150多名租户进行的定性访谈的证据，对针对社会住房的指控单的真实性提出了疑问。与正在进行的努力，以重建在英格兰的社会住房的作用和功能的风险也被强调。这些研究结果有助于越来越多的证据，通过对社会租户的观点和经验的详细分析，挑战社会住房的病态化和问题化。
The role and function of social housing in England are being recast. A radical programme of reform is being pursued in response to the apparent failure of the sector to serve as an effective welfare service, promoting dependency rather than social mobility. This paper examines the underlying logics and considers some of the potential consequences of this reform agenda, through an exploration of the relationship between social housing and worklessness. Drawing on evidence from qualitative interviews with over 150 tenants, questions are raised regarding the veracity of the charge sheet levelled against social housing. Risks associated with on-going efforts to reconstitute the role and function of social housing in England are also highlighted. These findings contribute to a growing body of evidence challenging the pathologising and problematising of social housing through the detailed analysis of the perspectives and experiences of social tenants.
