Housing, health and social care integration - looking to the future
Event date
About this event
This workshop, organised by the Social Policy Association Housing Policy Group, will explore the role of housing in relation to the ongoing integration of health and social care. Supporting the growing population of older people to remain independent and 'age in place' requires strong relationships between housing, health and social care on the ground and in policy.
The workshop itself will be highly interactive, drawing on your experience, expertise and ideas.

Further information
The Housing Policy Group is supported by the Social Policy Association, to bring together academics, policy makers, practitioners and wider stakeholders to review key policy developments in the UK around housing policy and practice.
Through a series of workshops, of which this is the third, the group aims to:
- Focus on connecting new organisations to the key stakeholders, housing networks and academics in the housing sector to stimulate academic, public and policy debate
- Identify key social policy issues and challenges for the housing sector in the UK but with a focus on capturing best practice examples to share positive activities and real social policy impact
- Develop freely accessible materials for housing studies and wider social policy teachers and researchers that they can use in online formats
- Specifically target and support new early career researchers into housing, targeting postgraduate housing studies courses to highlight social policy as a discipline, research area and career
- Develop and invite a diverse group and look at equality, diversity and inclusion in housing. They will support investigations of the ways in which policy affects Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, women, disabled people and LGBTQ+ people.
There are also a series of other policy groups supported by SPA (opens new window),
