This week’s HLINks: 25 - 29 July 2022

Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and this week’s sector news from the Housing LIN, the last issue ahead of our summer news break.
This week we published a refresh of the Housing LIN factsheet on Interior Design (No34). Updated and written by Lori Pinkerton-Rolet, director of Park Grove Design, the factsheet was officially launched on Tuesday's HAPPI Hour with Motionspot's Ed Warner. The webinar recording and a copy of the presentation slides are now available here.
And hot off the press, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities have just published their response to consultation on raising accessibility standards for new homes. Read our response here.
In other news, I am pleased to have been invited to be a judge on Inside Housing's UK Housing Awards (opens new window). These prestigious awards are in their 26th year and have a number of categories including 'Best older people's landlord', celebrating a landlord who has played a vital part in providing housing and support to older people. Winners to be announced on Friday, 25 November 2022 at a lunchtime ceremony in Manchester.
