New Housing LIN blog on housing co-operatives for older people

In our latest Housing LIN guest blog Chris Handy, CEO of The Accord Group, writes that for older people housing co-operatives can be a way of using skills, maintaining independence, and creating a sense of community.

Using Breedon Gardens Housing Co-operative in Redditch as an example, Dr Handy concludes the blog with a list of some of the advantages of co-operative housing for older people, and a call for the government to allocate more funding for co-operative schemes.
