Abstract
The cost-of-living crisis is placing more people at risk of being unable to afford to heat their homes.
We know living in cold housing contributes to many negative physical health outcomes. There is increasing evidence that being unable to keep warm at home also has negative mental health impacts.
If we don’t put in place further economic support and policies to protect vulnerable energy consumers so that everyone is able to live in warm dry housing, we risk worsening mental health outcomes for our population.
