Outside Influence is continually researching the living experience of residents within the City of York to help develop an insightful online place where the overlooked can shine the spotlight on what unsettled living and homelessness really means.
It can feel like everything is sliding backwards.
While welfare policies have made bold, positive strides over the last two centuries, we’re now witnessing a concerning shift. Access to support is dwindling and services are overstretched.
The decline in access to fair opportunities and secure housing needs new thinking to be reversed.
From owning a home to nowhere to go — the reality for many is how quickly things can change and finding that the next day is getting evermore uncertain.
Outside Influence explores the realities of unsettled living through a lens of shared experiences. We believe in the power of diverse perspectives to shed light on complex issues.
A 360 degree approach
We invite everyone to the conversation, including landlords, community leaders, architects, and those who have personally experienced unsettled living. We have found that this ‘welcome all’ approach allows us to gather all viewpoints, understand the underlying reasons for various situations, and then shape and present solutions to alleviate impacts for others.
Time for Change
We seek to identify new opportunities and understand the dynamic shifts in housing, welfare, tourism and economic structures that impact unsettled living.
