Where do we go now? Renters' experiences of housing precarity and climate disaster
Climate disasters, and responses to them, reinforce and exacerbate existing inequities and vulnerabilities, increasing complex legal needs and legal need problem clusters. This research project will explore the longer-term outcomes of renters who are evicted due to climate disasters, refining the role of community legal centres in disaster response spaces and determining whether access to legal information or advice might positively alter outcomes.
