MiSoC’S Dr Amy Clair, Dr Karen Croucher from the Centre for Housing Policy and the Greater London Authority’s Vicky Pearlman presented new research on the links between housing, health and wellbeing at an event in Westminster on 6 November. A huge increase in the number of people are now living in rented accommodation, so could the associated insecurities and stresses have a detrimental effect on their health and wellbeing? The researchers presented three new studies looking into the impact of housing situations on the lives of Generation Rent. A panel of leading experts and thinkers then discussed the findings and the implications for policy and practice.
