Institute of Housing Research

Studying housing.
Supporting agency.

How can people with impaired health and their relatives shape everyday life on their own terms? This question guides the Institute of Housing Research.

Open to collaboration

We welcome dialogue with people with lived care experience, advocacy groups, care providers, researchers and developers. We are particularly interested in open methods, citizen science and research in which participants help shape questions and decisions.
