We're excited to be working with the @futureofldn to bring together a broad range of organisations that understand the deep links between our health and our homes, and look forward to innovative approaches the Health and Housing Impact Network will foster.
We have launched a new network to reduce health inequalities caused by poor housing, backed by @ImpUrbanHealth, part of @GSTTFoundation. Health and housing professionals will identify solutions leading to practical action. Join the network 👉 https://t.co/pIC1Uqlz5c
