Plain Politics Vol.2: Housing

Plain Politics: Housing cuts through the jargon to show how Northern Ireland’s housing system was built and who it was built for. From early 20th-century housing acts, discrimination and gerrymandering, to the collapse of social housing and today’s homelessness crisis, this guide explains the policies that shaped our streets, our waiting lists, and our communities. Clear, accessible, and rooted in fact, it’s designed to help ordinary people understand how housing became a political tool and why it still fails working-class communities today.
