| Annotation | There is extensive research examines senses of home in ageing which focuses on built and care environments. In parallel is a body of work which examines housing governance, reviewing degrees of resident satisfaction. However, there is little crossover between this work: governance research only rarely considers senses of home. This article argues for attention to the interconnections between provider-scale housing governance and senses of home in older age. It argues that governance mechanisms structure the housing context and provide the framework through which home is experienced and lived. This article uses a case study of a small, affordable housing community in Sydney, Australia, to show that housing governance can profoundly shape senses of home in ageing, both contributing to and diminishing senses of home. Further, the article points to a connection between housing governance and housing design, with different housing typologies associated with different ageing bodies and forms of management practice, which have profound implications for residents' senses of home.
