Developing local housing partnerships: a Serious Game for older people’s housing
Two newly published resources present the findings from a pilot study of a ‘Serious Game’ called Hopetown, an innovative tool for developing local housing partnerships, led by the Social Care Institute for Excellence in partnership with Socialudo, United St Saviour's Charity and Housing LIN.
The evaluation report presents the key learning from the study and the toolkit sets out ten steps needed to understand the local population and housing need, the cost benefits and social value.
