Briefing Paper 11
Looking to the future: changing black and minority ethnic housing needs and aspirations
This paper examines the housing needs and aspirations of England’s largest black and minority ethnic (BME) populations.1 It sets out to identify how changes in demographic, spatial and economic factors are likely to affect the demand for affordable housing from BME populations in the future. The paper explores the ways in which BME households’ needs and preferences are changing, how they differ from those of white Britons and what kind of affordable housing provision may be required in the future to ensure that these needs will be adequately met.

Briefing Paper 2
Racist harassment and housing services
Although official figures indicate that racist harassment is decreasing, many incidents are reported only at a crisis point when abuse can no longer be tolerated. To support victims effectively social landlords have to ensure that they understand the victim’s perspective and can use a range of codes of practice, good practice guidelines and resources to help them respond to racist incidents.
