New Housing LIN blog reveals how housing schemes for older people help to alleviate loneliness

This Housing LIN guest blog is written by Paul Willis, Associate Professor at the University of Bristol's School for Policy Studies and Brian Beach, Research Fellow at University College London and formerly at ILC-UK.

As members of the Diversity In Care Environments (DICE) Team, they reflect on the findings from the three-year study into the ways in which housing with care and support schemes support the inclusion of older residents from different social groups and backgrounds.

They reveal how and why these schemes do indeed play an important role in alleviating loneliness in later life and what this means for housing providers and resident.
