"For people on the long social housing waiting list, getting into secure,
affordable housing is life-changing. Our study starkly illustrates what a
difference it makes.

We interviewed people who were on the waiting list, and again about a year
later. Some had moved into social housing and told us how it had transformed
their lives.

The positive impacts included improved mental health, reintegration into
society, reuniting with children, access to facilities the rest of us take for
granted and greater job opportunities."
