In addition to advertising your vacancies on the Almshouse Association Website, the EAC invites our members to advertise on the Elderly Accommodation Counsel Website.
The charity EAC (Elderly Accommodation Counsel) helps older people find accommodation and services that best meet their needs and aspirations.
Its website www.housingcare.org lists virtually every housing scheme or development for older people in the UK, including most almshouse charities[1], and is visited by 17,000 people every day. Its annual National Housing for Older People Awards celebrate examples of successful schemes, nominated by their residents.
Please help EAC keep its housing directory up to date by checking the details provided about your accommodation, and updating them if necessary. You are also invited to advertise your vacancies at no cost.
To check or update your details, or to place a vacancy ad, first find your almshouses on www.housingcare.org using the Accommodation Search tab on the homepage. A search by postcode is the easiest way.
Then click View details, and scroll down to the page to click on either Update info or Advertise vacancies / sales, and follow the instructions. Your updates or vacancy ad will appear on the website within 3 days. Vacancy ads will run for 6 weeks, but can be cancelled or extended at any time.
Your charityā€™s details generally list your eligibility criteria, so donā€™t fear an avalanche of inappropriate enquiries!
For more information, please phone EAC on 020 7820 3755 or email alex.billeter@eac.org.uk
[1] With the exception of a small number of charities which asked EAC in 2001 not to disclose their details on its website
