A close-up image of four wooden blocks arranged in a row on a white surface. The blocks display the word "STIGMA", with a hand turning the final two blocks to reveal the word "STOP" above part of the text. The image symbolises taking action to challenge and change stigma, with a simple, clean background that keeps the focus on the blocks and hand.

The Stop Social Housing Stigma campaign is inviting tenants and residents to take part in new research exploring the language used in the social housing sector and what it means to people.

The project aims to better understand how different words and phrases are perceived by tenants, residents and housing professionals, and to gather views on the impact language can have on people’s experiences.

As part of the research, a survey has been launched for tenants and residents to share their views. The findings will help inform future work to tackle stigma associated with social housing.

The survey is open until 25 September 2026.

If you would like to take part or find out more about the research, visit: https://stopsocialhousingstigma.org/do-you-live-in-a-stock/

We encourage anyone interested to take a few minutes to complete the survey and help ensure resident voices are represented in this important piece of research.
