Current research
Lisa's most recent project was generously funded by abrdn Financial Fairness Trust. The project aims to improve the lives of households in housing debt and at threat of eviction by identifying ways to improve meaningful communication between them and their housing provider, thereby reducing the likelihood of court proceedings and eviction. The project ran from 1 October 2022 - 31 March 2024. The findings and final report can be found here
https://homematters.wordpress.hull.ac.uk/ Lisa's previous research project was funded by the ESRC (£45k). Running from April-December 2021, the project examined the court system’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic in housing possession cases. Working with key actors within the process and combining a review of social science literature with primary data obtained from occupiers, landlords, legal practitioners and debt advisors, the project offered a unique assessment of the temporary initiatives introduced within the court system in England and Wales. The hope is that the project will offer a direct route to impact as a result of the involvement of the Ministry of Justice, Shelter, the Housing Law Practitioners’ Association and the Institute of Money Advisers as well as others.
