Briefing Paper 16
Black and minority ethnic communities' experience of overcrowding
The issue of overcrowding, how it can be defined and what steps can be taken to resolve it, has been recognised as a major, and increasing, problem. The National Housing Federation has warned that three million people will be living in overcrowded homes within three years. It expects a 20 per cent rise in the number of families living in overcrowded homes by 2013 (Lloyd, 2010). This briefing paper examines this issue with a particular focus on the experience of black and minority ethnic communities.
