In recent decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the proportion of people who buy their homes. Government policy since the 1980s has promoted owner occupation and included the "right to buy" council housing. Buying a home is rarely an option for homeless people, and the growth in home ownership has, in part, contributed to people losing their home due to the significant increase in mortgage arrears and repossessions. This keyword includes resources around home ownership, mortgage arrears and repossessions.
