We are pleased to have a response from Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Angela Rayner following the letter from The Housing and Aged Alliance, of which The Almshouse Association is a member.
Whilst she gave no specific commitments, the general tone is positive and it is important to keep older people’s housing high on the agenda at Government.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Housing and Care for Older People has launched a new inquiry on how the built environment can create intergenerational communities in both mainstream and specialist housing. Co-chaired by Lord Richard Best and Anna Dixon MP, the inquiry will run for one year and aims to explore how to improve the intergenerational experience of older people, based on where they live and their surroundings.
