HLINks Weekly: 6 October 2025

Welcome back to this week’s HLINks! 

As the leaves turn and we step further into autumn, this week’s edition celebrates connection, collaboration and community following the International Day of Older Persons 2025. Join us as we reflect on the global theme “Building Belonging: Celebrating the power of our social connections,” with highlights from the HCR Law roundtable exploring the evolving strategy for older persons’ housing in England.

Looking ahead, don’t miss tomorrow's HAPPI Hour webinar, “Almshouses Reimagined” chaired by Winckworth Sherwood Law, where we will uncover how these historic institutions are being reshaped for today’s older communities through creative partnerships and innovation.

We are also spotlighting the APPG Inquiry into Intergenerational Communities (now calling for evidence). Plus, a new Housing LIN case study on Dovehouse Court, a new almshouses development in Cambridgeshire, insights from the University of Stirling led ISPA Project’s third-year highlights, and the latest research on housing support delivery in Scotland.

Read on for news highlights, updates from across the sector, and opportunities to get involved.
