The Casey Commission holds an evidence session on the interface between housing and care

Our CEO, Jeremy Porteus, was honoured to join Professor Julienne Meyer, chair of the Older People’s Housing Taskforce, people with lived experience, and a selection of industry leaders - including several members of the Housing & Ageing Alliance - to ‘think big’ at yesterday’s Casey Commission evidence session in Westminster.

Commenting on the session, Jeremy stated:

What’s clear is just focusing on systems and processes to better understand mainstream and specialist/supported accommodation supply, our housing needs or care pathways, care efficiency measures, reactive commissioning, funding issues, etc, are not the sole solutions. Drawing on the HAPPI and TAPPI principles, we need a proactive mission-oriented approach that puts coproduction at the centre of discussions so that we can enable a new social, physical, and digital architecture, which we in the Housing LIN refer to as ‘CollaborAGE’.

We look forward to sharing the experience and expertise of Housing LIN members, and examples of collaborative housing and technology-enabled care practice with the Casey Commission to help shape a future of people-powered, person-centred, and preventative ‘care ready’ housing and at home care and support services.

Browse our CollaborAGE directory to find a range of housing, care and place-based collaborative practices. And check out Professor Meyer’s Housing LIN guest blog tomorrow on the one-year anniversary of the publication of the Older People’s Housing Taskforce report.
