Housing & neighbourhoods

Housing and neighbourhoods

Older people spend a significant amount of time, relative to other age groups, in their home and in their local neighbourhood. Both the home and the local environment can have a huge bearing then on older people’s well being and their ability to live independently.

Older households already comprise one in three households. We believe all older people should live in homes and environments that maximize their well being and we work with government and a range of other organisations to try to achieve this.
