It argues that housing plays a central role in shaping health and well-being, far beyond providing shelter. Decent housing, integrated within thriving communities, is essential for improving physical, mental, and emotional health outcomes. Social housing providers, such as Greater Manchester Housing Providers (GMHP) which includes Bolton at Home (BH), have expanded their services to address issues like mental health, social isolation, poverty, and community resilience. These efforts include initiatives such as support for those with mental health issues, sheltered housing for vulnerable groups, and social prescribing programmes that offer tailored community-based activities like the Arts on Prescription project. Case studies illustrate how interventions by housing can reduce isolation, improve mental health, increase physical activity, and rebuild confidence in individuals. The article underscores that by investing in tenants' health and well-being, housing providers create healthier, more resilient communities. This integrated approach strengthens social support networks and promotes long-term public health outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100283,"journal":{"name":"Clinics in Integrated Care","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 100239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143104376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
