Programme
This day workshop is participative, designed to stimulate discussion about retirement housing models that increase options available for individuals and provide an alternative to large-scale subsidised housing schemes, in a changing financial environment.
Attendees will have the chance to bring their own experiences and ideas to two interactive workshops, looking at real-life scenarios, discussing how future retirement housing could look and what new partnerships will be needed to ensure its success.
Some of the points for discussion include:
- How can extra-care models fit a smaller sized development?
- What makes retirement housing work well?
- What have we learned about future extra care housing provision and strategic needs?
- How do public services develop their roles to respond to a changing market?
- What opportunities and challenges exist for not for profit & private sector providers and the 'squeezed middle' older owner occupier?
- What about mixed tenure?
- How can we enable people who want to, to take more control over the provision of their own retirement housing, including their own investment?
- The 'Grand Designs' effect: is there a future role for retirement self-build in SE?
- What new priorities should we be setting?
Agenda:
- 10.00 Arrival - Tea & coffee
- 10.15 Welcome and introduction - Sue Terry, SE Housing LIN
- 10.30 Co-Housing: an alternative retirement housing option - Meera Bedi, Housing 4 Women, Barnet Co - Housing Project
