Chris Holmes CBE was Formerly the Director of Shelter. Inequality in housing has increased over the last fifty years. Critical factors in this include the replacement of older housing by high density flats, the resistance to building council homes in suburban and rural areas and the loss of the best council housing through right-to-buy. Chris Holmes advocates policies for creating a better balance between people, homes and jobs, which include: a new policy for the regions (to reduce the differentials between the prosperous south and northern industrial areas); increasing housing supply across all areas of southern England; special measures for tackling the housing crisis in London; and for fiscal reforms to reduce inequalities in housing wealth.

. Holmes, Chris CBE New Vision For Housing Routledge 2005 ISBN-10: 0415360814 ISBN-13: 9780415360814
Chris Holmes CBE was Formerly the Director of Shelter. In 1945 the Labour Government set out to enable everyone to have a decent home, where people from all walks of life could live together. This dream was destroyed by a succession of avoidable mistakes and almost everyone now seems to believe that it is impossible to re-discover that vision. This book challenges that fatalism, tracing the policy mistakes that have given rise to this inequitable state from the folly of mass housing to the unfair tax privileges of many home owners. Holmes describes and advocates a new vision for the new millennium, finding solutions variously in development, planning, economic structures, social reform, and political re-assessment to narrow the gap between rich and poor and enable people in all housing tenures to finally have a choice.

The Other Notting Hill" tells the fascinating history of the Notting Hill Housing Trust from its launch in 1963, with a powerful advertising campaign showing a family of six sharing a single room. The Trust was set up to buy and renovate run-down, multi-occupied houses in an area of West London notorious for its slum landlords, racial tensions and the worst overcrowding in Britain. The book describes how the fledgling housing association overcame huge hurdles to re-house families in desperate housing need, the pivotal role it played in a huge community campaign to change the housing policies of the local council, how it carried out an innovative and ambitious programme of housing renewal, how it influenced national policy as the leading member of a new generation of dynamic housing associations. It is now responsible for almost 20,000 affordable homes across West London, including shared equity flats for first time buyers, temporary accommodation for homeless families and rented homes for people on low incomes.

Based on a research programme carried out at the beggining of the 20th Century in Lambeth by the Women's Fabian Group into the lives of poor families where one member of the family was in generally in work and which had recently had a young baby. The title denotes the amount that they typically had to live on. Unlike the factory workers of a century earlier in the Midlands where only children and some women had most of the work, in South London in 1913 it was mostly only the adult males and they were consequently given a better diet so that they did not become too frail to work because then they would all starve. Chilling!
