In the summer of 2012, Riverside, one of the leading registered providers of social housing in the UK, began a three-year longitudinal study tracking the lives and experiences of 20 tenants in three areas: Carlisle, Wirral and south London. The objective is to understand in detail how tenants, mainly on lower incomes, respond to financial change through a period of austerity and major welfare benefits reform. The study considers how their lives are affected, what drives the choices they make, what this implies for social landlords, and the wider implications for housing and welfare policy. This summary report is the third in a series of six-monthly updates.
