TSRC briefing paper on self help housing

The Third Sector Research Centre at Birmingham University, which is funded by the Cabinet Office, is researching various aspects of housing as part of its work.  Following discussions with Self-Help-Housing.Org, one of these areas of research is into the role of self-help housing  as a  driver of innovative community driven housing  initiatives and a Briefing Paper outlines the approach they’re taking.

“It’s good  to see the hard work of self-help housing organisations being recognised in a major piece of research such as this” said Jon Fitzmaurice Director of Self-Help-Housing.Org  “Later this year, TSRC plan to hold a symposium aimed at key policy makers as part of the research, which together with their findings, will be used to make the case for additional resources being made available  to support community driven housing initiatives. “
