New Housing LIN guest blog reveals how social housing providers are valuable partners for health and social care.

This guest blog follows the launch of new research, conducted in collaboration between Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) and the Housing LIN that outlines the case for reducing rates of smoking in the social housing sector as part of social landlords’ health and wellbeing activity and the action needed to achieve this.

Sarah Davis, Senior Policy and Practice Officer at the Charted Institute of Housing, argues how social housing providers are valuable partners for health and social care, working to improve the health and wellbeing of people and communities. She highlights how this new research stretches beyond physical health into help for tenants struggling with the cost-of-living crisis, making a sound business case as well.
