SECTION C: THE GUIDE MODELSECTION C: THE GUIDE MODELThis section sets out calculation of the three key elements of the model outlined in Table 2.1 of theODPM Guide to Housing Needs Assessment and described in detail in Chapter Four of the Guide.The aim is to assess the level of housing need through estimating the net shortfall/surplus ofaffordable housing. The first step measures backlog of existing need, the second newly arising needand the third looks at current supply of affordable housing. The section finishes with a briefdiscussion of the implications for affordable housing policy and about the types of housing thatmight meet the affordable need.The ODPM Guide definition of housing need is given below.ODPMGuide‘Housing need refers to households lacking their own housing or living in housingwhich is inadequate or unsuitable, who are unlikely to be able to meet their needsin the housing market without some assistance’.
