Poverty in data brings together a broad evidence base of the use of data in the collection which help researchers understand lived experience and advocate for improvements for those living in poverty and deprivation, especially during the current cost of living crisis.

Housing and homelessness in data brings together a broad evidence base of the use of data in the collection which help researchers understand lived experience and advocate for improvements for those who are homeless and general housing conditions.
