Why Is This Important?
Affordable, quality housing is a key part of Jersey's physical, economic, and social fabric. High demand for, and insufficient supply of, housing can result in a range of negative consequences, including:
- a lack of housing choice
- poor-quality, unhealthy and overcrowded housing
- declining affordability and home ownership.
These factors have a proven knock-on effect on many aspects of people's quality of life, including physical and mental wellbeing, financial security, work/ life balance, educational achievement and life satisfaction.
