The CRC has funded and published research by the Cambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research, which develops a new understanding for rural areas of:

• The changing levels of rents (both private and social) and the quality and location of available housing
• The impact of recent and forthcoming government policies on social and private tenants, including the changes to Housing Benefit and the overall benefit caps
• Migration: The numbers of people forced to relocate from rural areas, or unable to live where they would choose to do so
