Programme summary

This programme is directly related to the operational activities of the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust rather than being geared to more general research questions. Topic areas are wide-ranging but all have this focus, and almost all work is commissioned to a specific brief. Recent themes under which work has been undertaken include:

• Nuisance and tolerance
• Housing and care models
• Housing finance and low-cost home ownership
• Risk and regulation in the residential care sector
• Mixed income sustainable communities
• The care and social wellbeing of frail older people

The Practice and Research Committee meets three times a year. The nature of the remit means that not all projects are put out to open call, but some are. Details are outlined below:
