Commissioned by the London Borough of Hackney we worked with Campbell Tickell to carry out a Housing Market Assessment.
This piece of research aimed to identify housing issues and solutions that can be used to make decisions related to the housing market.
As part of assessment a consultation was carried out. A group of 6 young researchers from Hackney were trained as peer researchers. The team engaged the local community across the borough carrying out interviews and surveys at local activities, youth groups and community events. The findings from this research will also be used as a basis for future housing decisions in Hackney and will help secure funding for various housing programmes and projects.
One of the young researchers was trained as a focus group facilitator and lead a series of focus group in Hackney, providing a platform for residents to have deeper conversations around housing.
