BME National: Report link
'Forty Years of Struggle' is a new research report by the Human City Institute reviewing progress on tackling racial disadvantage, discrimination and exclusion, especially in the housing field, four decades on from the enactment of the Race Relations Act 1976.
The report illustrates how discrimination in the housing market, although having receded since the 1970s, still consigns BME people more frequently to poorer, overcrowded, inadequate or fuel poor housing in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
One in three homeless people are BME - more than twice as many as would be expected.
