A collaboration of nine UK universities and four non-academic partners has won funding to create a centre to inform housing policy.
The £7.5-million UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence will seek to improve knowledge of the housing market, and to provide evidence to inform housing policy and practice.
The five-year venture is the result of a successful bid submitted to a call launched in May 2016 by the Economic and Social Research Council, the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, a charity. The winner was announced on 6 April.
