Annotation	This version of 'Building our futures' has been funded by an Innovation and Good Practice Grant from the Housing Corporation. The report's aim is to encourage people involved in planning for housing and housing-related services to assess their role in planning for the well-being of communities alongside health, social care and other services. It also provides a guide to the issues that an ageing population present to housing, for example ensuring a good range of housing options, the preventative value of appropriate, adapted or specialist housing, and importance of the wider neighbourhood in promoting independence. It refers to strategies such as Supporting People, and includes a table illustrating the relationships between tenure and various circumstances based on Age Concern England's Lifeforce survey. (RH).
