Our USF grant provided the platform for a major programme of research on family homelessness, debt and temporary accommodation in the UK, culminating in the 2025 co-authored book Debt Trap Nation: Family Homelessness in a Failing State. The grant generated more than £550,000 in subsequent research funding and grew new and now enduring partnerships with Shared Health Foundation, the Chartered Institute of Housing, Garden Court Chambers and the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Households in Temporary Accommodation. The research has had significant policy impact. It directly informed the UK Government's National Plan to End Homelessness (2025) and underpinned a proposed amendment to the Social Housing Bill currently before the House of Lords (June 2026), with the potential to change primary legislation affecting survivors of domestic abuse facing housing-related debt.
