New I-SPHERE research on race and homelessness was mentioned this week in Parliament.
The statistical analysis of 750,000 household records from the statutory homelessness system showed that only 10% of Black families gained social housing compared to 24% of White families.

New article by Cameron Parsell, Juha Kaakinen, Suzanne Fitzpatrick & Ella Kuskoff in Housing Studies argues that we need to transform, rather than tweak systems to truly move towards ending homelessness. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Why is “safe” housing anything but safe? New research shows survivors find homeless B&Bs & hostels can mirror the abuse they left behind. We need trauma-informed housing & enforced legal protections so women can truly escape violence. researchportal.hw.ac.uk/en/publicati...

Women in Northern Ireland are being forced out of their own homes by abusers due to financial control, weak legal orders & intimidation. New research by @lynnemcmordie.bsky.social shows they often end up homeless & still at risk. It’s time for real reform. researchportal.hw.ac.uk/en/publicati...

Scotland has strong legal entitlements for those experiencing homelessness. But, every day, we see breaches of those rights.

I-SPHERE, with Everyone Home, has written to the Cabinet Secretary, urging her to ensure these rights are always upheld.
