Summary

Living in overcrowded accommodation can have a devastating effect on families. If a home is overcrowded it can affect health and educational attainment and can impact negatively on life chances. We are committed to addressing overcrowding - it is not fair on children if they don't have space to do their homework or enjoy family life at home.

The Overcrowding Action Plan outlines the Government's strategy for tackling overcrowding. It is intended to support housing providers develop a range of housing options and advice services to assist those households worst affected by overcrowding.
