A study that measures the connection between the experience of the home and wellbeing has found that no matter what the tenure or ownership status of a person’s home, one of the most significant features of a good home is a sense of security and confidence that you can ‘get away from it all’ at home. Good neighbours, good design and good management are all as important for wellbeing as a person’s tenure or tenancy. The research report, ‘Homes & Wellbeing – Breaking down housing stereotypes’, suggests that social housing plays a positive role in protecting people from anxiety. It says, “Our research shows that the most crucial part of the home is the social fabric of the neighbourhood in which it’s embedded. The social value of tenure mix and giving people the opportunities to interact with each other, all reduce neighbourhood tension.” The study recommends, it’s more vital than ever that housing associations shape the future delivery for the wellbeing of its residents and society as a whole.
