Thanks @usociety for this great data resource (and funding!). Blog about our new paper that shows experiencing housing payment problems damages sleep & mental health, especially for renters, young ppl

What’s needed? More social & affordable housing. More support for households at risk of falling into arrears – especially in areas where housing services have been diminished. More investment in mental health services.
