The Human Cost of the Housing Crisis
Council estates are being knocked down to build luxury developments and ‘affordable’ housing is out of reach of those that most need it. Meanwhile the number of homeless on the streets and people in temporary accommodation is growing. Our three panelists have independently researched the social cost of this and the impact on people’s lives and gather to discuss their methods of translating investigations into impact.
Other #CIJSummer 2019 Talks are available to watch on replay on our YouTube Channel.
