Launch of anti-poverty Programme

JRF is exploring the relationship between housing and poverty to identify effective housing solutions for people living in poverty.  The web pages includes a blog provided by Kathleen Kelly, Policy and Research Manager at JRF. The blog gives a short outline and description of the programme. Go to http://www.jrf.org.uk/work/workarea/housing-and-poverty

The programme, which runs from 2013-2017, builds on what JRF has learned from their work on housing for young people; tackling housing market volatility and housing and migration and other programmes about housing and communities.

Evidence reviews

A number of evidence reviews are also being commissioned to inform JRF's  anti-poverty strategy.  The most relevant to HSA members is likely to be area regeneration and localisation the deadline for which is 6th February 2013.
