Foundations Cold Homes Guide

This guide has been created by Foundations for Home Improvement Agencies but also has benefits for OTs to help our understanding of the support that some of our client’s might benefit from. It focuses on dealing with the issue of cold homes and helping vulnerable people who live in them. It goes through important steps and strategies to make these homes warmer and more comfortable. 

Cold homes don’t just affect how people feel physically, they also affect their overall wellbeing. It’s also good to know that some groups, like older people, disabled individuals, and families with little money, feel the effects of cold homes more. 

The main goal of this guide is to give practical advice and clear steps to help HIA’s work on the problems caused by cold homes and give support to those who need it. The blog also outlines some of the challenges we currently face in regards to Cold Homes and outlines some of the support that’s out there to help overcome the associated challenges.
