Stop the Stigmatisation of Social Housing
Bring awareness towards the damaging effect stigmatisation continues to have on social homes, acknowledging that this form of housing needs to become normalised in society once again.
Why is this important?
Inequality within the housing sector is on the rise. Through policies such as 'The Right to Buy' scheme creating a shortage of social homes, those that still rely on this form of housing are highly criticised and categorised as 'scroungers' in today's media. Without challenge this will continue to happen, causing more divisions in our society to prosper. Outsiders perceptions of these individuals needs to change through social housing becoming a necessity within our housing sector again.
