Engage with this year's cohort of speakers at the Housing LIN Summit 2021 - A Festival of Ideas!
The Housing LIN looks forward to welcoming a fantastic line-up of influential figures in this session of this year's Housing LIN Summit 2021 - A Festival of Ideas!
With the imminent publication of the Adult Social Care White Paper, this session will look at the future of the housing with care market and consider the key drivers for creating more 'care ready' housing solutions.
It will also draw on SCIE’s recent report from the Commission on Housing with Care and bring together influential speakers who will explore what long term strategic vision is needed to futureproof operational practice and ensure services deliver better outcomes for households.
Event date: Monday, 6 December 2021 from 3pm
