Housing is the foundation of all opportunities and outcomes. It is much more than simply a roof over our heads. Safe, stable, and affordable housing provides a fundamental basis for individual, family, and community well-being. The high cost of rent and housing prices means people struggle to stay housed, are forced to live in substandard housing or live far from jobs, schools, and services or work long hours to pay for housing; or go without essentials such as adequate clothing, food, heating/cooling, medication or education. Better housing leads to better health, better educational attainment, and more economic opportunities and it is fundamental to achieving our vision of ‘Salisbury a flourishing City with opportunity for all.
