Housing profession leads visionary thinking on intemediate rent

The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) is leading an exciting new project to consider whether intermediate rental can help the housing sector to offer a wider range of products and rents, which will better meet varied household incomes and aspirations.

A discussion paper on the future of intermediate rent from CIH, in partnership with L&Q, is launched today. Future directions for intermediate renting highlights the need to develop a housing offer for the ‘inbetweens’ - a group of people who struggle to meet their needs with ownership, shared ownership, social rent or private rent. It argues that in the current economy it is unlikely that those providers of existing housing options will be able to supply products to meet their needs in the near future, and that housing associations may be able to develop new approaches to provide new housing options which do meet the needs of this group.
