Case studies

These case studies, submitted by local authorities and partners from across England, demonstrate positive practice in addressing poor health outcomes and health inequalities. Each case study provides a summary of the main problems that the intervention was intended to address, and how these have been tackled.  Case study contact details have been provided.

Are you involved in commissioning or delivering an intervention intended to improve health through the home?

This resource will continue to be informed by the experiences of housing and health practitioners at the local level. If you have been involved in commissioning and/or delivering a housing intervention that has sought to tackle an issue that affects health and wellbeing, and you believe there are lessons that others would benefit from learning (what worked, and what didn’t), then please contact the at the Chartered Institute for Environmental Health.
