On 1st July 2008 the MIS team launched its final report in London at Coin Street Neighbourhood Centre at 108 Stamford Street, London. This report is the culmination of two years of research, based on work with 39 focus groups involving more than 200 people, who were actively engaged in shaping the research, in combination with input from experts on heating and nutrition.
The report sets out a series of minimum income standard budgets for 4 household types: single adults, couples with two children, lone parents with one child and couple pensioners.
