This week’s HLINks: 30 Nov - 4 December 2020
Welcome to #Jeremytalks and my weekly piece to audio to coincide with the Housing LIN's weekly bulletin, HLINks, week ending Friday, 4 December 2020.
With our week-long online Housing LIN Summit 2020 commencing on Monday to coincide with the first ever HAPPI Awareness Week, we are delighted that Lord Best wrote a guest blog for us reflecting on the tipping point for the HAPPI design principles.
Later this morning, Jeremy will be joining Housing Minister, Christopher Pincher MP, on the virtual Homes UK conference platform as the Minister announces the winner of the government's Home of 2030 competition for a future with age-friendly and zero carbon housing.
In other news, ADASS/Home Group published a briefing on transforming care and support for people with learning disability. We also responded to the government's consultation on accessibility standards and are extending the survey deadline for your feedback on RCOT's report, Adaptations without Delay, until 18 December.
In this week’s HLINks, you can also read our curated round-up of other news and events on later life living with regard to homes and communities, health and social care, design and technology, planning matters and more, including reference to a new Local Government Chronicle write up of a recent health and housing roundtable.
