"The consideration of health in housing policies is vital to improve population health and to avoid unintended consequences. This review of health-promoting housing policies, regulations and legislation is part of WHO’s efforts to support countries in implementing the WHO Housing and health guidelines. Relevant examples with the potential to produce health benefits for residents are set out in a repository and discussed in this report. The policies were identified through searches of academic bibliographic databases and grey literature and through expert input. The contexts in which policies were adopted and implemented were documented, as were specific barriers, enablers and benefits for health. The report is intended to serve as an aid for policy-makers and stakeholders seeking to plan, formulate and implement similar policies aimed at promoting healthy and safe housing for all."
