Over time, we’ve witnessed a housing crisis grow in intensity across Europe, making the lives of many extremely tough. With a stall on social housing development throughout the UK, the already poor conditions of existing housing, and soaring costs for those intending to climb the property ladder, this crisis isn’t unfamiliar to British residents. And, unfortunately, marginalised groups are most likely to suffer from added housing discrimination and exclusion.

According to the National Housing Federation, “Right now, there are 8.5 million people in England who can’t access the housing they need. This includes two million children in England living in overcrowded, unaffordable or unsuitable homes. Some groups of people are feeling the crisis more acutely; Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic households and Disabled people are more likely to experience homelessness or live in poor quality, unsuitable or overcrowded homes.”
