HLINks Weekly: 10 February 2025

Happy Monday!

As we count down to this year's annual conference (6th March in Leeds and 26th March in London), we’re thrilled by the response so far! Stay tuned for more updates this week.

In today’s newsletter, we’re pleased to highlight the opening of this year’s Housing Design Awards submissions, with a special focus on the HAPPI category. Last year, housing for older people took center stage, with United St Saviour’s Charity's Appleby Blue in Bermondsey being named the winner of winners.

We also cover last week’s Housing LIN guest blog by Caroline Cooke, director at social enterprise Share and Care Homeshare, who covers the latest homeshare report.

Plus, a new report by Inclusion London highlights the challenges of inaccessible and unaffordable housing for deaf and disabled people in the capitol.

And, don't miss the Housing Ombudsman Service’s report on adaptations and landlords' responses to health needs - and lots more that has caught our interest!

Thank you for being such a valued member of our community. We hope this week’s HLINks newsletter provides you with useful insights and inspiration. Stay tuned for more exciting updates in the coming weeks!

Best wishes,

The Housing LIN Team
