Good morning.
Housing problems can lead to a host of diseases and mental health problems. Living in poorly maintained, often dangerous conditions, with issues such as mould, damp and collapsed ceilings, can affect relationships, job prospects and, for children, it often negatively affects their educational outcomes. It can make life unbearable and, for those living in social housing, these feelings of powerlessness can be amplified, with local councils and housing associations often subject to accusations of bad service, dismissive attitudes and long delays, despite the fact that they are obliged to ensure that living standards are up to scratch.
