Question: Many people are surprised to learn that public health crosses into housing, however from the article:

The quality and accessibility of housing is, however, a particularly appropriate area for public health involvement. An evolving body of scientific evidence demonstrates solid relations between housing and health. The public health community is developing, testing, and implementing effective interventions that yield health benefits through improved housing quality. Public health agencies have valuable expertise and resources to contribute to a multisectoral approach to housing concerns. Public health has a long (albeit intermittent) history of involvement in the housing arena, and this involvement is generally accepted by other housing stakeholders (e.g., building departments, community housing advocates). Housing related health concerns such as lead exposure and asthma are highly visible.

According to the lecture, currently about 22% of all housing that is available is crowded and/or substandard in the United States. For many of these homes, the cost to repair or address deficiencies is far too great, likely costing more than the units are worth. What are some of the health problems that living in substandard housing can increase the likelihood of? How are communities in NJ and around the United States addressing issues related to housing and public health?
