Annotation	Using funding from the Henry Smith Charity and the Housing Corporation, hact's Older People's Programme set out to improve housing for older people, and was very successful: of the 19 projects funded, 17 achieved their targets. The Programme's focus was on marginalised older people, including those living in rural areas, older people with mental health problems (including dementia), and refugees and black and minority ethnic (BME) elders. This document is a summary of Moyra Riseborough's final evaluation report. It includes insights about specific policy areas (e.g. social exclusion, advocacy, and assistive technology), lessons for programme funders, government and local authorities. Further information on each policy area is contained in a series of insight documents, available from hact. The full evaluation document is available on hact's website. (RH).
