As our population ages, England is facing an acute shortage of homes for older people. Research shows that by 2035, the number of people over the age of 60 in England will reach 29% of the entire population.

This webinar will discuss ways to overcome the barriers to developing housing for older people and how to make the case locally for planning housing for an ageing population.

If we don’t act to develop more homes for older people, this will place an unsustainable strain on both the housing market and on health services, whilst leaving older people without suitable homes. 

Speakers:

  • Abdul A Ravat, Head of Development and Relationships, Abbeyfield Living Society and Chair the NHF Older Person Housing Group (webinar chair)
  • Mohammed Ul-Haq, Association, health, HLM Architects
  • Dawn Carr, Cohousing Partnership Manager, Housing 21
  • Sally Nichols, Assistant Director of Operations Housing with Care, Riverside
