Affordable housing for the 2020s

In the run up to our Vision 2020 Annual Conference we are publishing a series of guest blogs from some of our speakers.

In this post Yvonne Castle, CEO at Johnnie Johnson Housing, lays out some possible solutions to the challenges facing the provision of affordable housing.

Solutions identified include investing in existing properties as well as new builds, greater adoption of smart technology, and ensuring that board members have the skills needed to deliver the services older people require.

“With nine out of ten older people wishing to live in their own homes and an increase in declining health, including Dementia-related illnesses, housing organisations will need to be innovative and flexible to ensure we continue to deliver outstanding services.”
