Our Safe Homes Now spotlights series brings the consequences of unsafe homes into focus by looking at the different aspects of the crisis of poor-quality housing.
The spotlights series explores the real-life consequences for individuals and communities and highlights the need for urgent action to fix our existing housing stock. Each spotlight contains recommendations for government that, if implemented, would contribute to safer and healthier homes for us all to live in.
In this second spotlight by the Centre for Ageing Better, The Health Foundation, Barnardo's, People's Health Trust, and Asthma + Lung UK, we look at the health consequences and wider impacts of living in a home that is too cold. Homes that are too cold or difficult to heat can lead to serious illness and health consequences.
