| Annotation | This discussion paper gives an overview of some of the current policy issues impacting on older people's housing in England. It is designed to stimulate comment and feedback to assist Help the Aged in determining future housing priorities for further action. As such, the aim is to issue a revised version based on feedback and comments received. The report is arranged in four parts, and case studies are used by way of illustration. Part 1, on diversity of housing needs, examines trends in housing need, direction of government housing policy, and older people's demands and expectations. Part 2, housing options, considers whether people decide to stay put or move on, also issues around exclusion or discrimination. Part 3, finding solutions, first examines the extent to which strategic planning and policies such as Supporting People (SP) and the Decent Homes Standard deliver results. The role of co-ordinating housing advice and information is considered in the context, for example, of Link-Age, the Single Assessment Process (SAP), Home Improvement Agencies ((HIA), and Housing Options for Older People (HOOP). Part 4 summarises the policy recommendations made. (RH). |
