ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights key features in the social policy and housing agenda related to minority ethnic households in Britain. It should be noted at the outset that much has changed in the past three decades, both in the housing experiences of minorities and in public policy responses. Observers have become increasingly aware of a diversity of housing and locational trajectories for minority ethnic households and groups, and of many personal successes, while overt racisms have had a greatly reduced impact on official policies and service delivery. Yet there has also been a degree of continuity of shared disadvantages for communities, affecting resources and hedging in housing choice.
