Presentation notes and slides
Description
21st May 2015, Yorkshire Housing, Leeds
Join the Northern Housing Consortium, in association with Housing LIN and a programme developed by Peter Fletcher Associates, as we continue our popular series of older people workshops.
Each workshop can be booked individually, and discounts are available for delegates who would like to attend both sessions.
AM Making decisions about the future of sheltered housing (opens new window) - This session starts at 09.15
Sheltered housing has shifted from a position of high demand, a positive choice for older people and an asset for providers to become hard to let, more difficult to manage and problematic for refurbishment or remodelling.
This seminar will consider the issues facing sheltered housing as buildings age and the needs and aspirations of older people increase. It will look at the legacy issues for sheltered schemes and services, how external factors are impacting on demand and examples of different approaches.
It will look at practical ways in which providers can undertake options appraisals and make decisions about de-commissioning or investing to bring buildings up to contemporary standards.
PM What types of housing do older people want now and in the future? (opens new window) - This session starts at 13.15
Over half of us will live alone after the age of 75 and many of us will have a limiting long term health condition and the design and location of our home will be key to our quality of life.
Government housing policy has been focussed primarily on young people. Giving later life buyers more choice, boosts local housing markets by freeing up homes for families.
This seminar will explore the impacts of the ageing population and their need and aspiration for housing that will help them remain independent.
