Homes and health: lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic and how to prepare for the future

The importance of housing for delivering better outcomes for population health is being increasingly understood by health and care services. Throughout the pandemic, the benefit of a healthy home for a healthy life has become central to the nation’s fight against Covid-19. For most people, homes are no longer just a personal space but now serve as workplaces, socialising hubs and more, encapsulating all the functions of human life.

The King’s Fund is organising a four-day conference to explore, in-depth, how health care and housing are coming closer together and the implications of good quality housing (or lack of) for health outcomes across the country.
