Abstract
Abstract This chapter discusses how inequalities can be ended in the area of housing. While housing is not at the top of New Labour's policy agenda, it has been identified as affecting outcomes in health and education, as well as having an important role in improving employability. The discussion examines how housing is a product and contributory factor in determining inequality, and focuses on how housing issues, such as poor housing conditions, homelessness, and the residualised social-housing sector, are linked to the wider processes of social exclusion. It presents a critical analysis of New Labour's focus on the worst estates and suggests that the focus of social exclusion in terms of the social-housing sector is being made at the expense of housing problems elsewhere.
