| Annotation | This report examines ethnic minority elders' perceptions on access to sheltered housing, care and support services in the London Boroughs of Brent, Barnet and Camden. The level of demand for care and support services among older black and ethnic minority people was quite low; it was felt that some demand might be hidden. By contrast, there was clear demand for sheltered housing, which some ethnic groups felt should be more appropriately targeted towards their needs. The report presents information on responses to the survey carried out. Recommendations are made on: ethnic record keeping; allocation of sheltered housing; publicising care and support services and sheltered housing schemes; working in partnership by ethnic groups and service providers; and training. Local authorities, black housing associations and local ethnic minority organisations need to devise common strategies to enable ethnic groups to enjoy equal rights with everyone. |
