Residents worried about the quality of housing they would move to, whether it would be affordable, and if they would remain close to their children\u2019s schools, their places of work and friend and family networks.<\/p>\n<p>They were also highly anxious about the unpredictable timescales of moves; having experienced sudden evictions and relocations in the past.<\/p>\n<p>The report\u2019s lead author, Dr Ella Harris, former Royal Holloway researcher, said: \u201cAs pop-up housing is trialled by more and more councils, it\u2019s important to understand resident experiences of it, as well as to examine how far it can help to ease the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/modular-construction-news\/modular-housing-housing-crisis\/58716\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">housing crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a lot of excitement around pop-up housing amongst stakeholders, but until now, nobody seemed to have asked the residents how they\u2019ve found it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Professor Katherine Brickell, from Royal Holloway, added: \u201cAs well as highlighting some ways to make residents feel more at home in this kind of housing, our report flags our concern that projects like PLACE\/Ladywell can only make a temporary difference to residents\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile an improvement on other temporary accommodation, it won\u2019t on its own solve the problem of providing residents with good quality, appropriately located and sized properties in the long term \u2013 permanent social housing needs to be built. Equally, there needs to be improvements in security and affordability in the rental sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost residents we interviewed had been made homeless after evictions from private rental properties after rent increases, property sales or job losses.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New research from Royal Holloway has explored the impacts of \u2018pop-up\u2019 modular housing for homeless families, discovering that while it improves quality of life in many respects, it can also exacerbate feelings of stigma and insecurity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[942],"tags":[829,572,571,656,916,627],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-63322","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-mmc-news","7":"tag-homelessness","8":"tag-housebuilding","9":"tag-housing-crisis","10":"tag-housing","11":"tag-modern-methods-of-construction","12":"tag-modular-construction"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u2018Pop-up\u2019 modular housing solution leaves tenants insecure, research finds<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"New research from Royal Holloway has explored the impacts of modular housing for homeless families, discovering that it can exacerbate feelings of stigma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/pop-up-modular-housing\/63322\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u2018Pop-up\u2019 modular housing solution leaves tenants insecure, research finds\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"New research from Royal Holloway has explored the impacts of \u2018pop-up\u2019 modular housing for homeless families, discovering that while it improves quality of life in many respects, it can also exacerbate feelings of stigma and insecurity\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/pop-up-modular-housing\/63322\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
