Whether your home is safe and suitable for healthy living depends on a variety of factors. Shelterforce puts habitability under the lens to show how problems like inadequate heating, water damage, and pest infestations negatively affect your health and further exacerbate the housing crisis. Shelterforce's Lara Heard explains what you can expect in our new Under the Lens series, Fit to Live In: Fixing Our Housing Stock.
