 My research is on housing insecurity in the UK and how it relates to changes in the welfare system, such as the introduction of universal credit. The UK Data Impact Fellowship is really important in linking up the raw data to actual practical applications of the research we use it in, which is something that sometimes gets lost along the way. By working with the fellowship I'm hoping to increase the amount of impact that my research can have, particularly in reaching the people affected by housing insecurity and also the policymakers, practitioners and charities who are working to combat it. I hope that the impact of my research will be in helping to identify who is most impacted by housing insecurity changes in the UK and to help target support for those people.
