Housing for All
There is growing recognition that where a person lives – their zip code, their neighborhood, their housing – has a significant impact on their health and well-being. Housing acts as both a social and physical determinant of health. Housing is generally considered affordable when all costs associated with housing, including basic utilities, is less than 30% of household income.
