Costs and effectiveness of accessible housing registers in a choice-based lettings context cover

This report by Heriot-Watt University for DCLG examines the costs and effectiveness of accessible housing registers in a choice-based lettings context via a small number of case studies that are illustrative of the issues and the associated costs and (financial) benefits for social landlords rather than providing a full analysis of cost-effectiveness.

The main focus of the report is on the processes that address the needs of tenants with accessible housing requirements, drawing out the pros and cons of the three main approaches for administering accessible housing registers and their effectiveness in classifying households, housing supply and the matching process.
