Supported and older persons' housing

Everyone deserves a safe, secure and affordable place to call home. Supported and older person’s housing exists to make sure everyone in our communities can live their best life, whatever their circumstances, ideally within their own home.

Supported housing provides invaluable housing and support for disabled people, homeless people, people with mental health problems, people who have experienced domestic abuse and many others. Supported housing helps ease the pressure on the NHS and care services, and saves the public purse around £940 per resident per year.

Housing for older people includes a range of different housing options to best suit the needs of individuals and families. As our society ages, we must build more dedicated housing for older people. Current estimates suggest that due to an aging population, 38 000 new homes for older people are required each year to meet demand.

Supported and older person’s housing services range widely, but they all play a crucial role in providing a safe and secure home for people to live independently.
