Welcome to the fifth issue of Open, brought to you by the Housing Corporation, the government agency that funds new affordable housing and regulates the work of housing associations in England.

In this issue, our features focus on the latest developments in tackling worklessness. We show how housing associations are finding innovative ways to help people into work and how their efforts are overcoming barriers to employment.

You can read features from this issue online or download the full magazine in PDF format. There is also a directory of research and guidance published by the Housing Corporation and others, which will help you find the expertise you're looking for.
