Welcome to the Housing Action homepage

Older people’s housing action is an initiative which aims to encourage and support action by older people’s groups to improve housing and related services for an ageing population.

It can offer a range of information, from good ideas checklists to guides to running interactive housing events for older people.

Two Housing Action Support officers are available to work with local older people’s groups who want to make a difference in their local area. They can also advise strategists and planners on matters relating to housing and older people.
