Household damp and mould are problems of growing prominence inBritain, often with severe and life limiting implications for those whoendure them. Treating those whose health has been impacted by poorhousing conditions is estimated to cost the NHS £1.4 billion annually(Garret et al, 2021). In November 2022 it became public knowledgethat Awaab Ishak, a two-year-old living in social housing provided byhousing association Rochdale Boroughwide Housing, had died in 2020due to the poor conditions he lived in. Against a present backdrop ofrising energy prices and levels of fuel poverty, the issue of household dampness isunlikely to be resolved.This research proposes a dual examination of the phenomena ofdampness in Housing Association (HA) estates in London - that is,both into the material conditions in damp housing, and the mediarepresentation of those conditions - in order to critically question howdamp housing conditions dispossess the urban poor. Using a mixedmethods approach with an embodied focus, this research aims toprovide new insights into household damp in Housing Associationstock undergoing regeneration, and a critical assessment of therelationship media coverage has to tenants' experiences of(contesting) these conditions. It envisions a public life for its findingsand outputs, both developing tools for use 'on the ground' withinaffected communities through participatory methods, and producingpolicy recommendations and briefings.

在英国，家庭潮湿和霉菌问题日益突出，常常对那些忍受这些问题的人造成严重的影响，甚至限制他们的生命。据估计，NHS 每年要花费 14 亿英镑来治疗那些因住房条件恶劣而影响健康的人（Garret 等人，2021 年）。 2022 年 11 月，公众得知，居住在罗奇代尔自治市住房协会 (Rochdale Boroughwide Housing) 提供的社会住房中的两岁男孩阿瓦布·伊沙克 (Awaab Ishak) 由于居住条件恶劣，于 2020 年去世。在当前能源价格上涨和燃料匮乏的背景下，家庭潮湿问题不太可能得到解决。本研究提出对潮湿现象进行双重检验 在伦敦住房协会（HA）的庄园中，即研究潮湿住房的物质条件以及这些条件的媒体表现，以便批判性地质疑潮湿的住房条件如何剥夺城市贫民的财产。本研究采用具有具体重点的混合方法，旨在为住房协会库存中正在经历再生的家庭潮湿提供新的见解，并对媒体报道与租户对这些条件的经历（争论）之间的关系进行批判性评估。它设想了其调查结果和成果的公共生活，既开发通过参与方法在受影响社区“实地”使用的工具，又制定政策建议和简报。
