Building Blocks For Life: Housing and Healthy Neighbourhoods

This paper from the Chartered Institute of Housing (opens new window) looks at the role of housing in tackling health inequalities.

Homes are critical building blocks for health, and are foundational for our involvement in education, employment, making social connections, and all the other social and economic factors that shape the different health outcomes, or inequalities, that people experience.

Part of a series (opens new window) of papers, it explores the value of partnerships across housing, health and care, drawing on the experience of Grand Union Housing Group and Peabody, working with public health across three local authorities. Co-author Liz Parsons spoke on the subject at our last HAPPI Hour and in a guest HLIN blog.
