Culminating in April 2024, the programme covered 16,177 properties across 17 housing providers in Greater Manchester and saw the implementation of 22,155 measures including ventilation systems, mould eradication, smart sensors, replacement of doors and windows, and new bathrooms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research comprised an online survey and a set of qualitative semi-structured interviews. The survey was distributed on behalf of the research team by the housing providers to all homes in receipt of support through SHQF. Responses were received from 582 tenants. Taken from this sample, 41 interviews were conducted, recorded, and transcribed. Summary statistics were produced from the online survey responses and are available as charts throughout this report. We also explored statistical relationships in order to understand how experiences of housing quality and the SHQF programme differed across social groups, and people\u2019s prior experiences of damp, mould and condensation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/salford-repository.worktribe.com\/output\/3429472\/greater-manchester-social-housing-quality-fund-tenant-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">project report<\/a> (open access pdf) is available to download.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Funding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greater Manchester Combined Authority<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project Period<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Team<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/salford-repository.worktribe.com\/person\/1165284\/dr-graeme-sherriff\">Graeme Sherriff\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/salford-repository.worktribe.com\/person\/1175275\/dr-siobhan-kelly\">Siobhan Kelly\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/salford-repository.worktribe.com\/person\/1171336\/philip-martin\">Philip Martin\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/salford-repository.worktribe.com\/person\/1178824\/joshua-pink\">Joshua Pink\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Salford conducted social research in order to provide insights on the implementation and impact of the Greater Manchester Social Housing Quality Fund (SHQF).
