Housing insecurity and precarity in London | LSE British Politics
The homelessness we see on the streets is only the most visible side of housing insecurity and precarity. Building more houses is only part of the solution.
Housing insecurity in London goes far beyond visible street homelessness. Over 167,000 people rely on sofa‑surfing or sleep in cars, vans, sheds, or garages. Laura Lane and Eleanor Benton #LSEHousing write in @lseblogs.bsky.social

New research alert 🚨 🚨🚨 In the Journal of Social Policy, we ask how the design and outcomes of income targeting are related to citizens' preferences. Popular discourse suggests that everyone should benefit from the welfare state to garner sufficient social support. But is that really the case? 🧵
