Abstract
This paper will look at the future of the community housing sector in Scotland. It will reflect upon the sector¡¯s origins and evolution, and contextualise its future development in light of imminent public sector cuts and the shift from ¡®social¡¯ to ¡®affordable¡¯ housing. It will argue that despite the rhetoric of the ¡®Big Society¡¯, budgetary pressures and rationalisation within the sector may serve to undermine the existence and success of small, place-based community organisations.
