HLINks Weekly: Housing, Health, and Social Care Latest News
Monday 16 October 2023
As we celebrate #GetOnlineWeek, let's take a moment to reflect on how TAPPI Phase 1 highlighted a significant aspect. While COVID-19 accelerated the integration of technology into the daily lives of many, it also exacerbated the digital divide.
At the same time, it allowed us to strive for greater ‘digital integration’ across housing, health and care, putting the real needs of older adults and disabled people at the heart.
That's why we're proud to support this awareness week as an opportunity to draw attention to these issues. Join us in taking part!
In today's newsletter, you can expect:
- News Highlights: Including insights from a new RIBA Journal article highlighting Appleby Blue's almshouse development.
- Resource Roundup: New findings from a study comparing different models of primary health care provision for homeless people.
- Expert Insights: From the CHIC project team with international lessons on collaborative housing and innovative care practices.
- Member Spotlights: Housing LIN sponsor, PRP mentioned in a Guardian article about how multigenerational living is growing in appeal.

Best wishes,
