Housing Agency: Apply for Research Support Programme 2024
The Housing Agency has launched the call for applications to the 2024 Research Support Programme.
The Research Support Programme is an annual call, which funds research responding to topical housing issues that have the potential to impact on housing policy and practice. Different research strands that The Housing Agency is particularly interested in are announced each year.
Research Focus – Sustainable Communities
Sustainable communities are places where people want to live and work now and in the future. They meet the needs of future and current residents and are sensitive to the environment and contribute to high quality of life. Sustainable communities are a key focus of the Government’s housing plan, Housing for All, which envisions ‘people of all incomes living side-by-side, with the right community infrastructure in place to help our cities, towns and villages thrive.’
The 2024 Research Support Programme will focus on sustainable communities, particularly innovation, adaptability, affordability and social inclusion.
