Amplius joins forces with charity for report on need for cross-sector collaboration

We’ve worked closely with the social housing charity HACT to produce an important report on how housing and health organisations can collaborate better.

The report, titled The Story of ADaM: A process review of the collaboration between Housing and Health in the East of England around Asthma, Damp and Mould (ADaM), looks at how cross-sector partnerships can help tackle these important issues.

A key finding from the report is that poor housing is costing the NHS £2.5 billion annually, with illnesses linked to cold, damp and dangerous homes.

Phil Hardy, Chief Operations Officer at Amplius, said: “A safe, affordable, quality home is the foundation of a good life; this includes having a home that is free from damp and mould and meets an individual’s needs.

“Building on our previous partnership work around health and housing, Project ADaM will enable us to help those customers, suffering from respiratory conditions, who might need priority access to health services and more targeted support from us.

“By working together, we will have a huge impact on not only our customers, but on healthcare services too, building safer, healthier communities for the future.”
