Equality in Housing is a collaborative podcast between the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence and the Tenants Information Service. Our podcast hears stories from those working in housing, or housing related services, from people who have experienced barriers accessing housing of their choice and those doing research in under-investigated areas to really show the important role that accessible, inclusive housing can play in people's lives and to help inspire others who want to make a change for more positive housing futures for all.
In this episode our hosts Dr Gareth Young (UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (https://housingevidence.ac.uk/)) and Pedro Cameron (Tenants Information Service (https://tis.org.uk/)) are joined by Jack Mason who is the LGBTQ+ Housing Pledge Project Co‑ordinator for Stonewall Housing.
In this episode Jack talks about the work that Stonewall Housing do, drawing on the latest data from their Impact Report, as well as talking about the different ways in which housing associations and service providers can ensure that LGBTQ+ people feel safe and secure, and can be their authentic selves, in their homes.
