The right home environment is essential to health and well-being, throughout life. To secure the greatest and fastest possible improvement to the health of Greater Manchester (GM) citizens, homes need to be warm and safe, affordable and accessible, secure and supportive. Devolution provides an opportunity to improve housing, and the Prevention and Early Intervention Memorandum signed in July 2015 recognises housing as an 'enabling' priority. For the first time (under devolution) different parts of the public sector are coming together across the conurbation to identify new, different and integrated ways of working that will bring financial and health benefits. It is proposed that a programme will be developed and directed by a multi-disciplinary task and finish group, representing the housing, health and social care sectors. This paper sets out some of the challenges, solutions and what this programme is hoping to achieve in relation to housing under the new devolution deal for GM
