The Integrated Care Systems Housing Profile (ICS Housing Profile) is a resource that aims to support people working in ICSs and ICBs to understand, and work jointly with partners to mitigate and tackle the key housing-related issues that drive poor health in London.

The ICS Housing Profile presents key housing data for London at sub-regional ICS geography and borough level. The data is presented across the three narrative themes of housing quality, security, and affordability. 

Whilst those working in ICSs and ICBs will be aware of the broad impacts of housing on health, we hope this resource will help colleagues to better understand the specific housing issues that are driving health inequalities and healthcare usage, in the area they’re working in. ​

 For those looking to delve deeper into the data, the accompanying workbooks can be used to find more information on housing trends over time, different geographical breakdowns and alternative metrics.
