Nearly a year ago, masks to protect against coronavirus transmission were in short supply, as health officials urged citizens to save medical-grade masks for our heroic health care workers. While textile manufacturers ramped up production of cloth masks, many of us got creative to ensure we did our part to slow the spread by wearing face coverings.

Everyone deserves a place to call home. At Wayfair, we’re partnering with Shelter England to help make this possible. Here, we talk with Deborah Garvie, Policy Manager at Shelter on how Shelter defends the right to a safe home and tackle the devastating impact the housing emergency has on people and society.
