| Annotation | It is recognised that housing choices for older people in Australia may be currently constrained by geographical location, lack of housing diversity, and other socio-economic factors. However, the needs of most older people could be met from the general housing market, if opportunities are opened up, and if policies are directed towards this objective, in particular through the New Homes for Old Program. Policy approaches may need to be different for home owners and non-home owners, but the link between well-being and the feeling of control over housing decisions is a common theme. This article describes some of the initiatives aimed at older home owners. It discusses the impact of the Assistance with Care and Housing for Aged (ACHA) Program run by the Federal Department of Health and Family Services, which targeted insecurely housed older people.
