About these indicators
These indicators relate to the outcome area ‘Stable, affordable, healthy homes’, including:
- Housing, whether it’s rented or owned, is affordable and provides stability of tenure.
- People have choices about where they live and what type of home they live in.
- People have enough money left over after housing costs for other things they need.
- The quality, accessibility, size and features of homes support people and families to have healthy, safe, productive and fulfilling lives.
- People in greatest housing need get the support they need, and homelessness is rate, brief and non-recurring.
