New Housing LIN guest blog explores moving into HAPPI-inspired housing

In this new Housing LIN guest blog, Fiona McLeod, a former Health Visitor and Change Agent at the Department of Health, reflects on her decision to move into sheltered accommodation after years of careful thought.

Drawing on her professional background and personal experience, Fiona shares the practical, emotional and logistical realities of making the move while still able to choose independently. From discovering a HAPPI-inspired scheme to navigating the stresses of selling and buying leasehold property, this thoughtful piece highlights the value of well-designed housing in later life and the reassurance it can bring.

We also invite you to register for the Housing LIN’s final HAPPI Hour this afternoon on designing for tomorrow: Future-proof, age-friendly homes, when Fiona will be joining Lord Best for the final webinar of our autumn/winter series, to coincide with HAPPI Awareness Week.
