Haringey Housing Emergency

What the Haringey housing emergency declaration means in practice

By Lowri Griffiths, North London.

The Declaration

The Haringey Council housing emergency declaration -- the formal recognition that the housing situation in the borough has reached the severity that the emergency designation requires -- has produced the specific combination of heightened political attention and specific programme commitments that housing emergency declarations produce in London boroughs.

What It Means

What the emergency declaration has produced: the specific temporary accommodation reduction target that the council has committed to; the rough sleeper outreach programme that has been enhanced; and the specific planning policy change that has removed the viability assessment requirement from affordable housing negotiations in specific development types. Each commitment is real and modest relative to the emergency it was declared to address.

The Column

Lowri Griffiths covers the Haringey housing emergency because the accountability journalism of the housing crisis requires examining what the specific political responses to it produce, and because the emergency declaration without the accountability journalism is a press release rather than a policy change.
