Without more inclusive home improvement support, we risk leaving people from racially minoritised communities in homes that put their health and wellbeing at risk writes Nazia Azad, Centre for Ageing Better programme manager for Homes.
This report aims to raise awareness of the links between health and homes and provide examples of local systems that have developed cross-sector initiatives to improve residents’ health by tackling problems in the home.
At the Centre for Ageing Better we believe that in order to reduce the number of unsafe homes across England, we need improve the local offer in accessing support for people to improve their homes.
