The impact of housing problems on mental health

One in five adults have suffered mental health issues in the last five years, due to housing problems.

Shelter’s new report reveals that the mental health of millions of people in England has suffered in the last five years because of housing problems. As a result, many have sought help from their GPs.

You can read interviews with GPs in the summary report, as well as extracts from a survey of 3,500 adults. The independent research was undertaken on Shelter’s behalf by ComRes in January and February 2017.
