ハウジングアソシエーションによるフォイヤーへの取り組み

抄録

This Study aims to understand development and activities of foyer in the UK and to examine why housing associations (HAs), which have traditionally provided housing and relevant services, undertaken foyer projects. Foyer is a facility which supports young people to be independent by providing safety temporary accommodation, practical and educational training, information for job seeking. HAs have started developing and managing foyers. The finding is that HAs now have taken significant role as a developer or manager of foyers. For HAs, foyer project is a sort of solutions to alleviate residualisation of HA housing. For HAs which own and manage many properties, some of them see foyer project as a way to spend their surplus for social investment.
