AnnotationThe adoption of the term "social exclusion" by policy makers presents a powerful challenge to social housing. Moreover, social exclusion has come to be closely associated with particular housing estates. This issue of "Foundations for Housing" outlines some of the research commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) exploring this theme. Peter Lee and Alan Murie examine the relationship between social exclusion and housing, analysing where the most deprived communities are to be found. Roger Burrows investigates the moves people make within and between different housing sectors, to find out why certain types of people end up where they do. Housing mobility is considered from another angle - that of the increase in vacancies in local authority housing stock - by Hal Pawson. Two other studies are concerned with social exclusion: the New Policy Institute provide a way of monitoring social exclusion, nationally, year by year; and Roger Burrows and David Rhodes add residents' views to the methodology for identifying disadvantaged communities.
