AnnotationThe Oda Dua Housing Association commissioned the research for its report, "Caring for diversity", because of concern for possible unmet housing, care and support needs among minority ethnic elders in the three North London boroughs where it operates: Barnet, Brent, and Camden. More particularly, the report looks at sheltered housing provision. It is based on a survey of more than 90 local community groups, all registered housing associations in the boroughs and the local authorities, as well as interviews with more than 100 ethnic elders. This article outlines the report's findings on: access to sheltered housing; meeting cultural needs; access to care and support services; promotion of sheltered housing and care support services to minority ethnic elders; and the prevalence of ethnic record keeping and monitoring.
