چکیده
Introduction Since the earl y 1990s, housing associations have been promoted by central government and encouraged to become mainstream providers of social-rented housing for low-income fa mil ies. An accompanying shift in the role of the local authorities was envisaged, towards their becoming enablers of a range of housing options, with less emphasis on direct public-housing provision. However, the housing affordability crisis of the I 990s resulted in substantially increased local-authority building programmes. rather than a move towards a more enabling, facilitative role (O'Sullivan, 1998a). In spite of substantial increases in output, it is improbable that the voluntary sector will meet the ambitious output targets set by the state at the current rate of expansion (Government of Ireland, 1999).
