Tenant-led policy solutions to the UK housing crisis

该项目将考察居民参与社会住房治理对当地社区过去和现在的影响，并记录和跟踪这种居民参与对政策制定的影响。该研究旨在检查少数民族和弱势群体居民参与住房治理是否可以挑战始于20世纪70年代和80年代的社会住房的污名，如果负担得起的租赁住房成为英国住房危机的住房政策解决方案，这一点尤为重要。定性研究方法包括焦点小组和口述历史将用于了解参与的个人和集体经验，并调查边缘化群体是否面临障碍参与社会住房及其民主空间。数据将使用laclau和Mouffe（1985）的话语分析进行检查，从而考虑到新兴叙事的多样性，以及个人经验如何融入民主社会运动。该项目将探讨租户参与社会住房的文化之间的相互关系，并在两个案例研究地点，布莱顿和霍夫和朴茨茅斯的经济可持续社区的发展。特别的重点将放在可扩展性上：在大型社会民主的理事会房屋建设计划中，租户民主的创新，以及在两个受地形限制的沿海地区扩展经济适用房的独特挑战。

This project will examine the impacts of resident participation in social housing governance upon localcommunities past and present, and will record and track impacts of such resident involvement onpolicymaking. The research will be designed to examine whether involvement of residents from minorityand vulnerable groups in housing governance can challenge the stigmatisation of social housing whichbegan in the 1970s and 1980s, of particular importance if affordable rented housing is to become ahousing policy solution for the UK housing crisis.Qualitative research methods comprising focus groups and oral histories will be used to understandindividual and collective experiences of participation, and to investigate whether marginalised groupsface barriers to participation in social housing and its democratic spaces. Data will be examined usingLaclau and Mouffe's (1985) discourse analysis, enabling the consideration of a diversity of emergingnarratives, and the ways in which individual experiences feed into democratic social movements.The project will interrogate the interrelationship between cultures of tenant participation in socialhousing, with the development of economically sustainable communities in two case study locations,Brighton & Hove and Portsmouth. Particular focus will be placed on scalability: of innovations in tenantdemocracy for a large social democratic programme of council house building, and the unique challengesfor expansion of affordable rented housing in two coastal locations limited by topography.
