Impact Report: The Age Friendly Social Housing Programme

Drawing on learning from HACT's two-year programme in three parts of the UK, this report reviews the programme's activities and considers key lessons and insights, highlighting the ways housing associations, with local people and partners, can create more age-friendly social housing and communities.

From 2022-24, the Age Friendly Social Housing Programme sought to improve the lives of older adults in social housing by fostering age-friendly communities in the Bradford City Region, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, and the London Borough of Southwark.

The report identifies seven recommendations that if adopted, will redefine social housing for our ageing population, offering a roadmap for other areas looking to foster collaboration between stakeholders to enhance services.
