Hi Sarah – I would also be interested in others’ experiences and policies around this topic. I am aware of another almshouse who have something like a ‘transition’ period for when children reach the age of 18 – and would not insist on changing the terms of their occupancy straight away – and certainly not in the case of an 18-year-old who goes to college/university, as their status would be ‘full time student’ rather than ‘working’.
We already house / have housed a couple of very young families, but from next year will be housing many more – and so this topic is relevant to us.
Sarah – does your current licence make mention of this 18 threshold?
Kind regards, Emma
