Breaking Barriers: The Power of Health & Housing Partnerships

8th January 2025

In this episode, Jenny explores how WHG and the Black Country Integrated Care Board (ICB) are transforming health and housing. Here are the highlights:

  • Key Initiatives

    • A.C.E in Asthma: Tackling respiratory conditions worsened by damp, mould, and poor ventilation. Over 290 children have benefited.

    • Community Champion Model: Empowering local people with lived experience to deliver solutions.

  • Challenges & Lessons Learned

    • Bridging the gap between health and housing requires persistent relationship-building and data-driven decision-making.

    • Recognising the wider determinants of health is critical, with 80% of outcomes influenced outside traditional healthcare settings.

  • Opportunities & Next Steps

    • Scaling Asthma-Friendly Homes and the Community Champion Model nationally.

    • Leveraging NHS Core20PLUS5 to target deprived populations and specific health challenges like respiratory diseases.
