Bristol-based researcher focussing on community-led housing and ageing.
A new phrase to me... "chain letting" - the fact that building 20 new homes suitable for older people lead on average to 62 more moves on a chain, freeing up way more housing through right-sizing. #HLINconf25
Delighted to welcome Lord Best, who is co-chairing our next Sector Showcase at #HLINconf25! As Chair of the APPG on Housing & Care for Older People, his insights have been invaluable in shaping the future of housing for later life. Ref to a new APPG Inquiry: www.housinglin.org.uk/News/New-APP...

Great session by Stephen Finlay from Ipsos at #HLINconf25 on understanding the housing preferences of older people. It's clear we need more tailored solutions to meet the diverse needs of our ageing population🏠
