achieve these objectives the plan outlined a twin track approach of improved capital spending for direct Local Authority building to increase output in 1991, alongside a medium-term target for the new delivery streams to reach 5,000 social housing units a year. However, it was estimated that these new streams would initially deliver just 750 homes in 1991 and within three years reach the 5,000 target.
Central to these new delivery streams was an enhanced role for Approved Housing Bodies. Up until that point the role of the not-for-profit sector was extremely limited. Government capital funding for special needs housing, targeting older people and those experiencing homelessness, was first provided in 1984. By 1991 a total of 1,600 units of such accommodation had been provided.
The Plan for Social Housing introduced for the first time a funding mechanism that would allow Approved Housing Bodies to provide general needs housing similar to Councils. The Rental Subsidy Scheme, later to be renamed the Capital Loan Subsidy Scheme, would provide loans to Housing Associations to build or buy properties and a rental subsidy for housing a waiting list applicant, which over thirty years would repay the loan.
