This report presents the findings of a study looking at the housing needs and
experiences of Central and Eastern European (CEE) migrants living and working in
Harlow and Broxbourne. The research was commissioned by Harlow District and
Broxbourne Borough Councils in January 2010 through the Migration Impacts Fund.
This funding was created by money collected from migrant communities (for example
through visas) and allocated to all regions of England for projects which focus on
understanding and managing the impacts of migration at a local level.
The study was conducted by Salford Housing & Urban Studies Unit (SHUSU) at the
University of Salford. The study was greatly aided by research support from a
number of community interviewers. The project was managed by a steering group
composed of officers representing Harlow District and Broxbourne Borough Council
