Abstract
It may seem a truism that ‘there is no place like home’ but, in fact, the effect which housing has upon families, their lives, well-being and health is extremely complex. Many research papers have associated ‘poor’ housing with such varied factors as:
-
perinatal mortality
-
child abuse
-
degree of handicap
-
poor speech
-
poor reading skills
-
health and growth of the mother
-
bad temper
-
delinquency
-
accidents
-
psychiatric illness
