What is substandard housing?

  • Unsanitary housing : buildings in poor condition, water infiltration, lack of ventilation or light, dangerous electrical installations.
  • Precarious housing : non-compliant or illegal constructions, housing without access to running water or sanitation.
  • Overcrowding : Inappropriate living conditions with too many people in small spaces, leading to health risks.
