• Changing Neighborhoods: The Impact of 'Light Touch' Support in 20 Neighborhoods (2007) In 2002, JRF launched its Neighbourhood Programme to support community groups and organisations in 20 neighbourhoods across England, Scotland and Wales. This summary, written by the team evaluating the programme, highlights the key findings from the four-year programme.
• The Reality of Social Exclusion on Housing Estates (2000) The study investigated the reality of social exclusion on housing estates in three diverse settings, exemplifying different social and economic conditions common in post-industrial Britain.
• Ethnic Minorities in the Inner City (1998) This analysis explores where concentrations of people from different ethnic minority groups are likely to occur and examines the factors which influence this.
• 'Inclusive' Strategies for Race and Gender in Urban Regeneration (1998) This study reviewed existing research to discover how diversity can inform regeneration strategies.
• Poverty, Housing Tenure and 'Social Exclusion' (1997) Uses the 1991 Census to explore how far national patterns are replicated at a local level and how far the policy solutions which would appear to be appropriate from national data are likely to be appropriate locally.
• Urban Regeneration & Ethnic Minority Groups: Training & Business Support in City Challenge Areas (1997) Looked at training provision and business support services in six City Challenge areas with substantial minority ethnic populations and where efforts were made to address the needs and the problems faced by minority ethnic groups.
