Vision 2020 for our sector

In our second Housing LIN guest blog this week Paul Watson, Managing Director of Guinness Care, presents a personal reflection on the challenges facing extra care housing in the coming decade.  Paul states we must completely re-shape our assumptions about the nature of housing for people in later life, while ensuring new models of care also match the dynamic changes in the economy and across local communities.

As a sector, housing associations have made a tremendous contribution in developing new extra care housing over the last 30 years; now is the time to pinpoint a vision for the next generation of housing association activity.
