2019 Academic Engagement Scheme

 

Dr Helen Taylor (Cardiff Metropolitan University) undertook research into the expansion of legal duties around homelessness in relation to the Housing (Wales) Act 2014. Dr Taylor analysed the proposal for the inclusion of 'rough sleeping' as a priority need category and gathered data on the impact that this might have on individuals who are sleeping rough. Helen's PhD research was on approaches to vulnerability within the Act and she currently lectures in Housing Studies; specialising in policy, research methods, and homelessness.

Dr Taylor's work is summarised in the In Brief blog post, What's being done to end homelessness in Wales? published in November 2019.
