This week’s HLINks: 18 – 22 April 2022

Jeremy Porteus

Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and our must-read weekly bulletin, HLINks.

Readers will be sad to learn that Care and Repair England have announced that after 36 years they are closing at the end of April (opens new window). In response, I tweeted (opens new window): “This is such sad news. You’ve been part of my professional upbringing since the start. I am proud to have served as a past Trustee and collaborate over the years on policy and practice developments for better housing quality, decent homes and information and advice services for older people.”

In this week's HLINks, we also draw attention to our most recent Housing LIN guest blog 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. You can also sign up to hear from Paul about The DICE Project at our upcoming HAPPI Hour - Diversity in Care Environments: A better understanding of social inclusion of older people on Tuesday, 3 May 2022.

We also remind readers that the deadline to supply evidence to the current APPG on Housing and Care for Older People Inquiry, ‘Making retirement living affordable: the role of shared ownership housing’ is 4 May 2022.

And remember, you can also apply to become one of the Dunhill Medical Trust TAPPI2 “testbeds” (opens new window). The deadline for submissions is 16 May 2022.

And in other news that caught my interest, we signpost to:
