BME Britons More Likely To Be Homeless or Live In Overcrowded Homes

Black and minority ethnic groups are more likely to be homeless or live in overcrowded accommodation, a study has found.  Research into three London boroughs by race equality charity Runnymede Trust, showed black and minority ethnic groups were around three times as likely to live in overcrowded homes. The research, which focused on Croydon, Redbridge and Kingston, also found higher homelessness rates among black people. Overcrowding was found to be around three times as high among black and minority ethnic communities than in white communities in each borough. Read more on the Runnymede Trust website.
