About A Terraced House in 2024
Located in Saigon Court, a development run by the Islington and Shoreditch Housing Association, this house is typical of those built in the low-cost housing boom of the 1990s and 2000s.
Throughout the 1980s, Vietnamese community members established organisations such as the An Việt Foundation & Housing Association (now Lien Viet HA) which served to remove cultural and language barriers, and help Vietnamese people access vital services and information to make home in the UK.
