Government Policies Contribute To Housing Inequality

Welfare and immigration policies are contributing to sharply unequal access to affordable housing among Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, a report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) has found. Analysis concluded that a quarter of Black, Asian and minority ethnic workers, excluding those of Indian origin, are paying unaffordable housing costs compared with 10% of white workers. The study also found that the issue is a UK-wide problem not only confined to the capital, with two in 10 Black, Asian and minority ethnic households living in unaffordable housing across the country.
