| Annotation | Three UK members of HOPE were involved in the project on which this report is based: London & Quadrant Housing Trust, Anchor Trust, and New Leaf Supporting Independence Ltd. The Rights-based Model of Ageing for housing that is introduced is rooted in the principles of equal rights for all, based on the following seven key rights: choice and control (self-determination); recognition of the importance of home; valued occupation; provision for diversity; acceptance of the ageing process; an age-friendly environment; and a good quality of life. The report explores current attitudes towards age and ageism in housing; outlines work already being undertaken to challenge ageist policies and attitudes; and develops good practice regarding the application of the Rights-based Model of Ageing to the provision of housing within the existing policy context. The guidance draws on examples of good practice already implemented across Europe. The publication has been funded by the Housing Corporation Innovation and Good Practice Guide. (RH). |
