A growing body of literature affirms the relationship between housing and children’s mental health. By bringing together people who are working on issues related to children’s mental health, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Tourette syndrome, and housing, we can improve the mental health of young people and reduce many of the challenges that prevent children from living in safe, stable, and affordable homes.
Our new fact sheet Understanding the Connections Between Children’s Mental Health & Housing supports work at the intersection of housing and mental health by providing . . .
- An overview of several pathways through which housing affects children’s mental health;
- Housing policy options to address common challenges; and
- Action steps for anyone interested in promoting children’s mental health and well-being through housing.
