Why retirement housing deserves priority

Abstract

In this opinion piece, Lord Best makes the case for retirement housing to be a national priority. Based on the recent Housing an Ageing Population Panel for Innovation (HAPPI) publication (Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), Communities and Local Government (CLG) and Department of Health (DH), 2009), the author argues that prioritising retirement housing will also help the next generation: selling and letting homes designed for the older occupier will, in turn, free up badly‐needed family homes.
