Housing inequality is a major issue in the UK, with Black and Global Majority communities disproportionately affected. ROTA will be launching a new housing project to empower individuals with lived experiences of precarious housing and institutional racism in the housing sector to strengthen their voices, connections, and influence.

The project will conduct a participatory research project to explore the systemic and institutional racism within the housing sector. The research will be co-produced with members of ROTA’s network with lived experience of housing discrimination.

ROTA is currently seeking funding dedicated to amplifying the voices and stories of impacted communities, who will lead on their participatory research. The research will culminate in rich qualitative data in support of advocacy for frontline Black and Global Majority community groups that are at the forefront of addressing systemic racism within the housing sector.
