Black and minority ethnic young people and housing
Description:
This briefing looks at the housing experiences, needs and aspirations of black and minority ethnic (BME) young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five. It aims to inform housing providers of ways of improving services to this diverse group. Young people's transition from family home or care institution to independent living is often accompanied by other crucial transitions: from school to work, from child to parent. These new life stages can be full of pitfalls for all young people, although evidence suggests that BME young people are among
the more vulnerable because of discrimination, unemployment, low wages and inadequate service provision (Harrison et al., 2005).
