Housing & Neighbourhoods Monitor
JRF has launched a new website that provides a single source of information on key housing and neighbourhoods trends across the UK.
The Housing and Neighbourhoods Monitor (HNM) website provides:
- charts of key indicators, which support understanding of how long-term trends vary across the four nations of the UK;
- maps that assist in local, regional and national service planning by enabling people to compare different housing and neighbourhoods concerns across the four nations and different local areas;
- reports that analyse and comment on the indicators and overall policy outcomes, giving an overall picture of UK housing and neighbourhoods concerns. A UK-wide report and Findings summary have been published.
