  12. Housing Homes which are damp and/or unheated Risk of infections Questions: What are the effects for children of living in poor housing? Low-income families are more likely to live in: Overcrowded conditions Some families housed in ‘hotels’, B&Bs etc: shared facilities Densely populated and unattractive neighbourhoods Few gardens and play areas
