Our data showed that this well loved estate is supporting vulnerable people to get by, and is home to a relatively strong community in an area where crime and isolation are common.

What can housing providers do?
Increasing poverty, and the impact of austerity have undermined individuals’ and communities’ resilience
Housing providers need to be sensitive to the social ties that exist in communities
They need to work with other agencies to recognise the value of what exists within local areas, as well as tackling the problems
And to be open to different people’s views about what they want to keep, as well as what they want to change.
