Housing and fuel poverty

 

  • Fuel poverty (fuel costs above average, where spending that amount leaves residual income below poverty line) increased to 15.2%, after a small decrease in the last two years, with rates statistically higher than national.

  • Staffordshire Warmer Homes Fund supporting over 250 homes by end of June 2021.

  • 57,600+ Staffordshire households struggle to maintain a warm, dry home.

  • Those affected live primarily in East Staffordshire and Newcastle. Both areas also have higher unplanned admissions for respiratory conditions.

  • Fewer households homeless/at risk of becoming homeless - down to 479 (Apr-Jun 20) from 559 in 2019. However, more (238, 50%) are in priority need – higher than West Midlands (41%) and similar to national (50%).
