What are the long-term impacts of housing quality on social cohesion, health, educational attainment, child poverty, life chances, wellbeing and other outcomes? What are our best quantified and monetised estimates of these relationships?

Background

Following the Grenfell inquiry, MHCLG committed to accelerating building remediation and ensuring building safety. The department is interested in developing its understanding of the drivers of behaviour across the industry, and the benefits and potential risks that technological change may bring. We also have a focus on exploring the issues that affect different housing tenures.
