White working-class residents feel they are losing out to minorities and new migrants when it comes to the allocation of social housing a new report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) has found. The project looked at the concept of community cohesion by considering the views of white working-class communities in three different neighbourhoods in England: Aston (Birmingham), Canley (Coventry) and Somers Town (London). The research found that many residents felt they had been "unfairly treated" by government, especially in terms of allocation to social housing. They felt that housing organisations rewarded groups who did not appear to add anything positive to neighbourhoods. Download the report from the JRF website.
