Future of East Riding’s Sheltered Housing Considered

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is seeking the views of local residents and other interested parties on its vision for housing in the area, including a separate review of sheltered housing for older people. It recognises the need to invest in and deliver attractive sheltered housing that offers good-quality housing, built to modern standards, which embrace advances in technology.

As part of the consultation, the council will also be seeking residents’ views on the provision of support services offered in sheltered housing schemes. This is to ensure these services are accessible, affordable and meet the needs of individuals in the future and will also help to ensure that properties are attractive, fit-for-purpose and are desirable places for people to live as they grow older and allows them to live independently for as long as possible. The consultation runs until Monday, 24 October.
