“…Under Keynesian welfarism, the state's provision of services and goods is a means to guarantee the wellbeing of the population, whereas neoliberalism prefers minimal state interference (Larner, 2000). Presently, all state and not-for-profit housing providers adhere to neoliberal practices such as competition, hierarchy and public/private partnerships (Kramer et al, 2011;Dodson, 2006). This determination to control and regulate public services arises from a wider concern surrounding the idea that the public sector is inefficient and lacks accountability (Blessing, 2012).…”

With social housing providing accommodation to the most vulnerable individuals within society it is recognised as a key priority area which has the potential to deliver holistic integration across a range of service providers. A need is emerging to examine the nexus between the energy, housing, health and social care sectors to understand how these separate but interlinked policy agendas are integrated in practice. Presented are the findings of interviews conducted with 24 key stakeholders under a thematic analysis, exploring the key themes and prevalent trends which shape the challenges to creating a holistic retrofit system within social housing for the improved wellbeing of older people, through the lens of governmentality. The analysis revealed that the ideological barriers presented prevent a holistic retrofit process and inhibit the potential to create successful collaboration within the healthy ageing agenda. The retrofit of domestic housing is centred around the concept of sustainability; however, the ideological prioritisation of economic considerations over people has created an increased pressure on resources, favouring ease and cost cutting over communication, collaboration, and efficiency. Significant change must occur within governance and organisational structures; increasing flexibility and alliances, creating a viable means of interaction to create solutions and improve implementation.

“…AHP has been used extensively in construction research over the years. For example, Kramer et al (2011) determined the weigths of social objectives for a housing association to allocate its resources to achieve its goals. Al-Harbi (2009) used AHP in construction project management (2009).…”

“…Where such papers have been published, they have usually concerned quantitative methods and statistical models (Dodgson and Topham, 1990;Furbey and Goodchild, 1986;Galster and Hedman, 2013;Kramer, Kronbichler and Van Welie, 2011;Mullins, 2006) although there are some notable exceptions (Jacobs, 2001;Goodchild, O'Flaherty and Ambrose, 2014). Method is at the core of research since it is the mechanism which transforms ideas, arguments, questions and hypotheses into tangible data.…”

Papers dedicated solely to research methods are rare within housing studies. This is despite the importance of ensuring methodological rigour within studies that may go on to influence further research, practice and policy. Likewise ethnographic housing research is relatively uncommon even though this approach captures data at a greater level of depth than other methods. Building upon the work of prominent housing researchers who advocate the use of ethnography, this paper highlights the benefits of this approach for housing and homelessness studies, as well as discussing some of its challenges.An overview of ethnography is given to outline its origins; theoretical influences; benefits and challenges in relation to homelessness research. A study that focused on the drug and alcohol behaviours of young, homeless people in Scotland is then introduced. Drawing on this study, a reflexive account of researcher bias and self-disclosure is presented along with consideration of the processes involved in building trust and obtaining informed consent in ethnography. The paper argues that it is useful to consider method within housing research and that ethnography is a valuable approach, particularly in a time where there is growing interest in the lived experiences of people in relation to housing.
