Fiscal Stimulus Paper

The purpose of this paper is to make the case for a programme of additional investment in new social housing and supporting infrastructure in England over a two year period as part of any further Government package to deliver a fiscal stimulus to the economy.  Developed in collaboration with the Local Government Association, Trades Union Congress and the National Housing Federation, the paper sets out proposals for what such a programme of investment could look like, explains why it is needed, and demonstrates how it could be delivered in order to have a rapid and high impact effect on the economy.
