AbstractThis paper draws on historical institutionalism to consider the impact of housing-policy responses following the Grenfell fire on the marginalisation of the social-housing resident. We consider three specific policy responses: reform focused on conditions of rented properties; the social-housing White Paper; and building regulation and building-safety reforms. We suggest that, in historical institutionalist terms, each is part of a matrix of reform in which understandings of the social-housing resident play a critical role. We argue that rather than the fire provoking a paradigm shift in the recognition that government accords to the ignored and stigmatised citizens who live in social housing, the policy initiatives to date indicate a much more limited adjustment of policy within a normal frame. We suggest that this is because housing policy is dominated by a consumerist ideology that is self-reinforcing and ignores the social, economic and political complexity of tenure.

边缘化、Grenfell Tower 和社会住房居民的声音：住房法律和政策的关键时刻？

摘要本文利用历史制度主义来考虑格伦费尔火灾后的住房政策反应对社会住房居民边缘化的影响。我们考虑了三个具体的政策应对措施：以出租物业条件为重点的改革；社会住房白皮书；以及建筑监管和建筑安全改革。我们建议，从历史制度主义的角度来看，每一个都是改革矩阵的一部分，在这个矩阵中，对社会住房居民的理解起着至关重要的作用。我们认为，迄今为止的政策举措表明，在正常框架内对政策进行的调整更为有限，而不是引发人们对政府给予居住在社会住房中被忽视和污名化的公民的认可的范式转变。
