| Annotation | The 2020 vision is "a society where people will be able to access and benefit from the housing support, telecare and health services they aspire to, with full knowledge of the options available". Partner organisations indicate the breadth of interest for the 20/20 Project: the Telecare Services Association (formerly ASAP), the Centre for Sheltered Housing Studies (CSHS), ERoSH (the national consortium for sheltered and retirement housing), the National Housing Federation, the Association of Retirement Housing Managers, the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH), Counsel and Care, Elderly Accommodation Counsel (EAC) and the Federation of Black Housing Organisations. This report comments on only brief coverage of extra care housing and telecare in the Green Paper, "Independence, well-being and choice: a vision for adult social care in Britain" (TSO, 2005); nor did it suggest a statutory duty on agencies to work together on housing strategy. It reports results of a large consultative exercise with stakeholders, covering: responding to changing needs and aspirations; housing choices and extending the options; "future proofing" (designing housing built for people irrespective of age); diversity of communities; dignity and independence; and empowering the housing workforce. Recommendations are made on what these stakeholders - providers, government and local authorities - need to consider in future provision. (RH). |
