| Annotation | Ensuring a supply of affordable and suitable housing will be critical in successfully meeting the needs of an older society. This report makes the point that getting housing right will help support the incomes and savings of younger people, while helping to limit the growth in health and social care costs from a rising number of older people. Researchers analysed official statistics and datasets, including the English Housing Survey and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). The report considers the current housing market; the quality of UK housing; and the future of housing. Five priorities are identified: getting serious about the supply of housing; planning for local needs; preparing for a future of renters; making sufficient home adaptations; and adapting to changing needs. Support from Firstport is acknowledged. (RH). |
