What is the Inclusive Accommodation trend?

Inclusive Accommodation: Many people find themselves without decent accommodation, and so organizations and artists are pushing initiatives that are designed to shelter vulnerable people. This shift comes as a response to the rise of income inequality and the refugee crisis – two issues that brands should be considering as consumers become increasingly concerned with the current political climate.
