Recommendation
Poor housing conditions have adverse impacts on health; living in poor quality housing is an aggravating factor in experiencing coronavirus severely. Pre-existing housing inequalities may have exacerbated the impact of coronavirus on BAME people. We welcome the Social Housing White Paper 2020 that the Government published in November 2020. We recommend that the Government publish and implement a strategy to improve housing conditions in social housing and privately rented accommodation by the end of Summer 2021. (Paragraph 122) No recourse to public funds
