UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (Phase 2)
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Glasgow
Department Name: School of Social & Political Sciences
Abstract
This application is for four years transitional funding, following five years initial funding from ESRC and AHRC (with Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF)). The UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE) was set up to be a housing evidence centre, drawing on a range of social sciences disciplines. The original housing priority was a recognition of multiple policy and practice needs for rigorous evidence. The ongoing need for CaCHE's strategic evidence and research arises from ongoing and newly arising problems, often termed the 'housing crisis'.
CaCHE will retain its "hub and spoke" network with its administrative core in Glasgow and a physical presence in all 5 sub-national knowledge exchange hubs in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales & the South West, the North & Midlands, and London, East & South East. The Centre's work will now be more focused and organised around four (not 7) themes (economy, environment, inequalities and place). The management team will be responsible for overall strategy, operational delivery, co- ordination, data navigation, research and KE. Meeting monthly, the executive team of three academics (Gibb, Watkins and White) will be supplemented by a senior non-academic lead on knowledge exchange and communications (Williamson), plus a full-time programme manager, KE and communications, and administrative support staff. A wider management team will meet at least every three months and involve theme and cross cutting work strand leads as well (Marsh, Stephens, Orford, Payne, Leishman, Robinson, Preece, O'Brien and Ambrose).There will be further CI input into themes by Blair, Munro, and Serin. CaCHE will remain accountable to a funders group and an international advisory board (as well as reporting annually to the key Research Organisations).
The main consortium members are the Universities of Glasgow and Sheffield, plus the Chartered Institute of Housing. There are also contributions from the Universities of Bristol, Cardiff, Sheffield Hallam, Ulster and South Australia. The consortium has a lengthy list of institutional and individual collaborators at regional and national level and our activity will be supported 'in kind' and by direct contributions working through the KE Hub structure including Crisis, Centre for Homelessness Impact and HQN and several more. Our consortium also has specific project plans with complementary ESRC investments: e.g. Urban Big Data Centre, CDRC, White Rose Social Sciences DTP
The programme of work proposed for CaCHE2 combines what worked well in CacHE1 as well as lessons learned, alongside a refreshed agenda reflecting housing system developments since 2017. It is also takes account of the implications of transitional funding for what was a large consortium. CaCHE2 is necessarily smaller in breadth and participants but also is more focused in terms of themes and work packages. This places an additional premium on the relevance and significance of those work priorities. CaCHE2 also embraces the strategic commitment research organisations are providing for the team and seeking therefore to develop a sustainable funding model by prioritising new external partnership and leveraged agile bidding for new responsive and proactive research opportunities that cohere with CaCHE's fundamental aims. In all of the work CaCHE2 will seek to continue to maximise the social and economic impact that the work has for research users. It does this by both refocusing on specific project impact plans and established CaCHE networking and communications, but additionally continuing with successful KE programmes such as the Policy Fellows scheme, the PhD summer school and a greater emphasis on policy and practice briefings, blogging, video and podcasts.

Results and Impact | In early June, Welsh Government published its housing green paper on securing a path to adequate housing, fair rents and affordability. The consultation seeks views and evidence on issues around rents, affordability, landlord and tenant behaviour in the private sector and how to improve the supply and adequacy of housing over time. Research published concurrently with the green paper includes a briefing paper produced by CaCHE on rent control in a Welsh context looking at different national approaches to rent control and a report from Alma Economics on data mapping and visualisation about the private rented sector. |

Results and Impact | ublished: 21 Apr, 2023 In recent years, heat pumps have dominated the heating-decarbonisation conversation, in no small part due to Boris Johnson's enthusiastic championing of the technology in late 2021. If homes in the United Kingdom could transition from gas to electric heating and, in particular, install heat pumps (ground or air source), carbon emissions would be significantly reduced - moving the nation closer to its legally-binding net-zero 2050 climate target. Two years on, the government's effort to install 600,000 heat pumps by 2028 appears to have 'stalled' at best and 'failed' at worst. Despite having almost 30 million households, the UK can only boast around 280,000 heat pumps. |

In this short article, researchers at Sheffield Hallam University explain current attempts to capture a history of home heating as the curtain begins to fall on the era of fossil-fuelled systems.

Results and Impact | Purpose of the webinar: While the role and performance of private rental housing is increasingly scrutinized by researchers, activists and policymakers in the Anglo-Saxon countries and the old EU states, little is known about its recent and quiet emergence in the postcommunist countries. This webinar questions what we (don't) know and should know about this highly deregulated sector and debates its future. All times are in CET 14:00 - 14:30 - Short talks • Dr Adriana Mihaela Soaita, University of Bucharest/Glasgow reflects on the significance of her new EU Horizon project "Understanding private tenants and landlords in postcommunist Romania'. • Prof Alan Morris, University of Technology Sydney, reflects on what happens if a deregulated rental sector becomes larger and entrenched in a housing system where social renting is almost non-existent (Australia is a good example). • Dr Jane Zavisca, University of Arizona, reflects on the implications of 'housing privatism' to people's housing aspirations, family practices and the tenant/landlord relationship by drawing on her extensive research on Ukraine, Russia and other post-Soviet states. • Claudio Acioly, architect and urban planner, member of the Council of the International Federation of Housing and Planning, reflects on the role of rental housing for low-income households around the Globe, from the Brazilian favelas to Albania's emerging sector. 14:30 - 15:00 - Panel discussion • Prof Alan Morris chairs the panel discussion framed by your questions. Are you an academic researching rental housing, a professional or activist involved in the field, a private tenant or landlord? Raise your questions or tell your vision for the likely role/future of rental housing in postcommunist countries. |
