Housing

Safe, secure housing is vital for good health. Poor housing can affect physical and mental wellbeing. That’s why we’re working with local councils, housing providers and community partners to make homes in south London healthier places to live.

What we’re working on

  • Improving housing conditions – tackling damp, mould and cold homes

  • Supporting tenants’ rights – helping residents understand their rights and where to get advice

  • Joining up services – linking housing, health and social care so people don’t fall through the gaps

  • Working with landlords – encouraging fairer practices and quicker action on repairs

Our priorities

  • Reduce the health risks linked to poor housing

  • Strengthen support for people at risk of homelessness

  • Build stronger partnerships between housing and health services
