BMC Public Health called for submissions to our Collection on housing as a determinant of health and well-being. The right to adequate housing has been recognized as a basic human right since 1948 when the United States signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Residential instability is a public health crisis that causes and exacerbates health problems, erodes communities and drives health inequities. BMC Public Health launched this collection in support of this important social determinant of health.
