Studies in housing and welfare is a research group and a cross-disciplinary research environment. It deals with housing, and housing in a social context that is characterised by constant change.

Questions concerning housing have become increasingly pressing. Housing is more than four walls and a roof over one’s head. It is not only closely linked to issues of identity and well-being, but also to future prospects — for example, in terms of access to work and education.

The provision of housing is thereby crucial for a society's development in regards to equal growth and welfare. At the same time, society is facing challenges linked to changes in demographics, increased divides, and segregation —  challenges that are central issues for a socially sustainable housing provision today and in the future.

Studies in housing and welfare gather a number of research projects and researchers from different universities and faculties. The goal is to create a strong research environment that, with different perspectives and inputs, illuminates the issuse of housing in an ever-changing society.

Housing and Welfare Research Network

Studies in housing and welfare has been granted funds from Forte for creating the national research network Housing and Welfare Research Network (HWRN). Besides developing and strengthening cooperation between researchers and disciplines, the network will also contribute to deeper collaboration between research and practice around issues regarding the social aspects of housing. Seminars and other events will be arranged within the framework of HWRN, of which some will be open to the public.
