Clarion Housing Group’s Post

Today, we launched the latest case study in our Room To Grow campaign, revealing the shocking scale of stigma faced by social housing residents in London.   The ‘Taking the Stigma out of Social Housing: The Residents View’ report launching today in Parliament polled 3000 social housing residents in London, finding that nearly half (45%) have experienced prejudice or discrimination because of their housing status.   Despite these challenges, the report, sponsored by the G15 Residents’ Group, finds that safe, secure social housing provides a vital foundation for families, offering stability and improving health outcomes.   Urgent action is now needed to address harmful narratives and perceptions of social housing residents. We’re proud to celebrate the value that social housing brings to both individual residents and the economy & society as a whole.   https://lnkd.in/eAzw2rtJ   #RoomToGrow #StigmaOut

As part of the NHF’s #PlanforHousing campaign, our CEO Fiona Fletcher-Smith explores the impact of stigma on social housing residents in a new article. “While the government’s efforts to address housing standards are a step in the right direction, real change must come from within the sector itself. At L&Q, we launched an ambitious resident involvement programme in 2021, focusing on building true partnerships with residents, and restoring accountability to residents at every level of the organisation. The results are promising: residents have played a key role in improving processes around complaints, mould and damp, and have even influenced our recruitment practices. More importantly, we’ve learnt that when residents are treated as equals, the stigma around social housing starts to fade.” Read more: https://brnw.ch/21wOrRU

Our new report, 'Taking the Stigma Out of Social Housing: The Residents' View,' highlights the stigma social housing residents face daily and the harm it can cause. But the question remains: how do we solve this?   Addressing stigma requires more than regulatory changes—it demands a cultural shift. Too often, social landlords unintentionally reinforce stigma through inadequate services and distant relationships. Yet, we also hold the power to reshape these perceptions.   At L&Q, we believe social housing residents are not just tenants; they are our equal partners. That’s why we’re focusing on building true partnerships with residents and restoring accountability to them at every level of our organisation. We’re also early pioneers of Stop Social Housing Stigma’s journey planner, a groundbreaking tool to guide landlords in tackling stigma.   Learn more about how we’re transforming our resident involvement programme here: https://lnkd.in/exztZjqi   #RoomtoGrow #PartnershipofEquals

Social housing Stigma refers to the unfounded negative stereotypes and prejudices often associated with social housing and its residents. These misconceptions can lead to discrimination, social exclusion, and many other issues affecting the well-being and quality of life of those living in social housing. That’s why we’re proud to sign the pledge to be part of the #stopsocialhousingstigma movement. By signing the pledge, PURDY CONTRACTS LIMITED DUNHAMS and SPOKEMEAD MAINTENANCE LIMITED are taking a stand against these stereotypes and working towards creating a more inclusive and respectful society, reinforcing our Group commitment to addressing and eliminating the negative perceptions surrounding social housing.

The social housing sector is always quick to praise its own virtues, but a new report offers a sobering reflection: Landlords are a prime channel for the stigma that can ruin tenants’ lives. #ukhousing #socialhousing #stigma #tenantexperience Rick Liddiment Flagship_Group
