Building and Social Housing Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Building and Social Housing Foundation (BSHF) is an independent housing research charity, with work that covers a broad range of issues around housing. It was established in 1976 and is based in Coalville in Leicestershire in the United Kingdom but works internationally. In 2006 it was granted Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations[1].
BSHF has recently released reports on Gypsy and Traveller accommodation and refugee housing. Previous work of the Foundation has also included work on community land trusts [2] and bringing empty homes back into use.
