| Annotation | The Princess Royal Trust for Carers launched the first national report on housing issues affecting the UK's six million unpaid family carers on 23rd March 2010 at the Community Care conference, Working Effectively with Carers. The Trust, with support from the Department of Health Housing Learning and Improvement Network (LIN), commissioned Peter Fletcher Associates Ltd (PFA) to prepare this report. It investigates: whether carers themselves see housing as a key issue; the housing issues with which carers identify themselves; and how these issues can be tackled to ensure that carers' housing needs are met more fully in the future. Based on wide consultation, the report uses stories and good practice examples to highlight successes and challenges in current practice and commissioning, and makes calls for policy changes.
