Stay Home: Housing and Home in the UK during the COVID-19 Pandemic


Overview

This book provides a rapid and unique focus on housing and home in the pandemic in the UK and makes new arguments about the importance of housing in the scale and distribution of the health, economic, social and psychological impacts of the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically exposed weaknesses in UK housing's relationship to the labour market and welfare system. Inequalities in household type, home occupancy, housing cost and security have contributed to the unequal impact of the disease. Comprehensively charting fast-moving and inter-linked policy developments, Becky Tunstall assesses the position of housing and home in public policy, health and in peoples' lives, and documents the most immediate responses to the pandemic in one convenient resource for students, scholars and practitioners.

Reviews

Housing (and home) has been at the heart of lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic. This valuable and timely analysis examines the connections between housing and the pandemic, and the uneven impacts COVID-19 has had on different households and communities in the UK. Bob Smith, Cardiff University A detailed exploration of how one of the 5 giants of the welfare state - housing - was impacted during the COVID pandemic, and what could be done to build resilience especially for the most vulnerable. Tunstall has ably filled a gap to help us 'build back better'. Jennifer Dixon, The Health Foundation
