HLINks: New HLIN report, new resources, and news from the housing sector
This week saw the release of the new report by the Housing LIN and Shakespeare Martineau, Shining a Spotlight on a Hidden Housing Market. We also have new resources, and our usual news from across the housing with care and specialist housing sectors.
New Housing LIN Report
Shining a Spotlight on the Hidden Housing Market
During January 2019, we conducted one of the most comprehensive survey exercises in the UK’s later living sector. The 200 survey respondents came from a variety of backgrounds, and included local authorities, registered providers, private developers, care operators and businesses in the charity and voluntary sector, as well as architects and designers.
This report from the Housing LIN and Shakespeare Martineau looks at the results of that survey and points the way forward to reinvigorating the UK later living sector.
