Project Begins!
We have been commissioned by Cheshire Housing Alliance to
undertake a project to find out more about the housing and support needs our
diverse communities. The project will look at two distinct pieces of work –
developing a tool for frontline staff to use about diversity and the needs of
BME communities and a separate, more focused piece of research into newly
emerging communities within
Cheshire
