A decent home is one that meets the current minimum standard for housing, is in a reasonable state for repair, has reasonably modern facilities and services and provides a reasonable degree of thermal comfort.
Decent homes are an essential part of a sustainable community. A home and the environment around it has a major impact on the physical and mental health and well being of those that live there.
