Conclusion
The presence of a stigma attached to being a social housing tenant is very hard to dispute, although it is difficult to say how prevalent stigmatising views are among contractors and staff working for social housing providers. It is also difficult to say how prevalent other types of discrimination are. If, however, even a small number of contractors or staff in the sector are discriminating against tenants, it is clearly a very serious problem that the sector must respond to immediately.
