0 Inadequate living space as a Health Threat. 1. Inability to provide a home environment conducive to health maintenance and personal development due to inadequate family resources, specifically financial constraints.

By increasing the living space, it will reduce the transferability of communicable diseases; provide privacy for members, and bigger space to allow free movements.
The family doesn't see this as a problem as long as they have shelter.
