Abstract: The pronounced housing-market and labour-market changes which have intensified in recent decades have had a particularly severe impact upon the social housing sector. In this paper it is argued that within this tenure, social housing estates have experienced a progressive dislocation from the mainstream in economic and social terms. A generic model of Estate Development Trusts is presented which is an attempt to redress not only the balance of labour-market opportunities by targeting such issues as education, training, and (un)employment, but is equally directed at related aspects such as the housing-management, social, and health functions at the estate level. The primary purpose of the model is to provide a framework which highlights the attributes which ought to be considered when seeking to bring about the effective and holistic regeneration of social housing estates.
