SHOP: Making best use of your sheltered housing asset – Cardiff (supported by the Housing LIN)
Event date
Description
This workshop has been postponed until the autumn. More information will follow. All original bookings will automatically be carried forward.
To be held in Cardiff - Venue TBC
Changing expectations and demographic pressures, alongside increasing demands on limited resources, suggests the need for a significant shift in thinking about how housing, support and care can be delivered for older people in the future.
One of our biggest assets for older people is our sheltered housing. However often its design, location or condition means it is unsustainable in its current form. The challenge for housing associations and local authorities is to ensure that services are fit for the future in terms of quality, financial viability and sustainability; and where this is not possible that the best use is made of this valuable housing resource.
This one day workshop builds on the good practice set out in the Strategic Housing for Older People Resource Pack (SHOP) and the subsequent Housing LIN briefing paper Making Best Use of our Sheltered Housing Asset.
The workshop will help both housing associations and local authorities to structure thinking around how to make the best use of their sheltered housing asset and to find the right option for the future of the service/ schemes.
