A lack of action on poor-quality housing is leading to avoidable deaths, with 1 in 10 homes posing a serious risk to their residents’ health or safety.
The state of England's homes is shocking, with millions living in homes that put their health and safety at risk. Why then have we become collectively complacent about this huge issue?
The Good Home Dialogue brought together people with experience of poor-quality homes. But dialogue, when it works well, isn’t just about hearing people’s problems, it entrusts them with the tools to critically assess potential solutions.
Over 4 million homes in England are poor quality, and much of the improvement costs are relatively affordable. Why then are people hesitant to use technology to improve their homes?
There are over four million poor-quality homes in the UK, over half of which are lived in by older people. We need to see immediate and long-term action from government to address our poor housing crisis.
In this webinar we discussed the Good Home Inquiry’s findings and recommendations, the policy priorities of the public and the next steps needed to improve our homes and improve the lives of millions of people.
The Good Home Inquiry was established to look at the poor quality of our homes, to consider the consequences, and to explore what needs to be done to put things right. It was crucial that real people were at the centre.
