Our homes can significantly shape our physical and mental health and well-being.
This paper sets out the work that Public Health Wales has conducted alongside other housing stakeholders to envision a future of healthier of homes, especially for those living in poverty. It summarises insights drawn from stakeholder conversations and a futures-focused workshop, held in November 2024.
This work builds on two previous reports from Public Health Wales – an overarching report, homes for health and well-being, and a second on affordability. Here we go further and shine a light on housing quality, affordability, and security, and the impact this has particularly on the well-being of children and families.
