In this third spotlight by Ageing Better, Runnymede Trust, Race Equality Foundation and People’s Health Trust, we look at the disproportionate impact of poor-quality homes on people from Black and minority ethnic communities.
Homes are the foundation for a decent life, where we should all feel proud, safe, and secure. However, this is not the reality for millions of people in England today and people from Black and minority ethnic communities are more likely to live in unsafe homes.
Our Safe Homes Now spotlights series brings the consequences of unsafe homes into focus by looking at the different aspects of the crisis of poor-quality housing.
The spotlights series explores the real-life consequences for individuals and communities and highlights the need for urgent action to fix our existing housing stock. Each spotlight contains headline data as well as recommendations for government that, if implemented, would contribute to safer and healthier homes for us all to live in.
