The aim of this project is to understand the structural causes of housing poverty and its well-being impacts in Ireland’s private rental sector. By researching young adults (18-30) reliant on housing support, it will document young people’s lived experience of accessing and residing in the Irish Private Rental Sector. Evidence based policy recommendations will be produced to enhance legislation, policies, and services, driving more effective State responses to housing poverty. A human rights-based advocacy toolkit will also be developed to empower public bodies, including Local Authorities to proactively meet their Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty obligations regarding housing.
