AB Beyond  providing  basic  shelter,  the  home  often  comprises  the  center  of  people’s  daily  life,  a  place  where  people  share  meals,  spend  large  amounts  of  time,  and  engage  with  family.  It  may  be  a  place  of  safety  and  security  or  one  riddled  with  precarity  and  stress.  The  link  between  public  health  and  housing  is  multifaceted.  A  clean,  safe,  and  decent  home  is  important  for  individual,  family,  and  community  health.  Historically,  the  housing-health  connection  has  focused  primarily  on  homelessness  and  physical  exposures;  however,  emerging  research  suggests  that  the  housing-health  relationship  transcends  beyond  these  two  categories.  Health  is  also  associated  with  rental  assistance  status,  housing  insecurity,  a  lack  of  affordable  housing,  and  neighborhood  quality.
