HLINks Weekly: 28 July 2025

Welcome to our final newsletter edition before the summer break!

Before we dive in, we just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who joined our Spring/Summer 2025 HAPPI Hour series! With support from over 2,000 delegates, 36 expert speakers, and UK Research and Innovation, we’re excited to share the session recordings and slides, free of charge. Stay tuned for our new series launching this Autumn!

This week’s edition of HLINks features:

Highlights from the South West Leadership Set meeting on the challenges of specialist housing and the needs of an ageing population
A consultation on a proposed new formula for allocating the Disabled Facilities Grant
The recording, slides and chat report from our most recent webinar on diversity in housing
A new blog from the CEO of the Walton Charity on new almshouse accommodation for keyworkers
Insights from Housing LIN's CEO on inclusive design for older people published by Procurement for Housing
And lots more!

We will be taking a short pause over the summer to regroup and return with fresh perspectives. We'll be back in your inbox on 8th September — to coincide with Accessible Homes Week — with more updates, insights, and stories.

Until then, keep up to date on our news webpage, LinkedIn (opens new window), or Bluesky (opens new window) pages. We wish you a wonderful and restful summer!
