New blog reflects on housing, community and wellbeing for Bangladeshi elders

In this new Housing LIN guest blog, Brian Hobbs, an ExtraCare Charitable Trust resident, shares his reflections on the launch of the Amar Bari, Amar Jibon report at the House of Lords.

Drawing on his own experiences of multigenerational living, Brian highlights how the research illuminates the housing, health, and social challenges faced by Bangladeshi elders in East London, challenges that echo across many ethnic minority communities.

He reflects on the value of integrated, supportive retirement living, the importance of culturally grounded care, and the vital role of partnerships and Housing LIN in driving understanding and action.
