A crisis of housing is also a crisis of health. This report presents a research methodology for understanding the mental health impacts of the UK’s housing crisis, developed through ethnographic research with a collective of Somali women in Birmingham.
The Housing, Migration & Health (HOMH) Lab is currently funded by SOAS University of London through their IKE and IAA funds, and
