The Housing LIN produced this A-Z of activities where art and other creative aspects were featured. Find at: https://www.housinglin.org.uk/_assets/Resources/Housing/Support_materials/Practice_briefings/HLIN_Briefing_COVID19_Residents-Support-AZ.pdf 01:01:19 Sheila Peace: message fro Sheila Peace - could you say more about how you deal with caring issues across generations e.g. when older residents may need what would be called ‘home care’ in the wider community. 01:01:56 Sally Taylor-Ridgway: Lovely photos provided here by Alison. Do let us know if you have any questions for her! 01:03:04 Matt Wood Hudson Architects: For those of us who are probably already sold on the advantages of co-housing, it was great to hear such a candid account from Alison Cahn of some of the difficult times. Thanks! Can teh panel suggest any further reading on this topic? 01:03:34 Sally Taylor-Ridgway: As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, the Housing LIN shared a selection of Mental Health and Loneliness and Later Living resources: https://www.housinglin.org.uk/News/Mental-Health-Awareness-Week/ 01:04:44 Matt Wood Hudson Architects: As a follow up to my previous comment: is the size of the Lancaster project (80 people) an issue? What is regarded as an optimum size for this type of community? 01:08:17 Dawn Freeman: love this 01:08:43 Samantha.Allan: Absolutely amazing, so heart warming 01:08:44 Jo Painter: I think that's lovely that you made a difference to his life 01:08:44 Liz Wilks: That's a lovely idea 01:10:26 Sheila Peace: From Sheila Peace - you can see this as a benefit of intergenerational co-housing. If balanced towards all older people finding a support group may be more diffcoult 01:10:47 Dawn Freeman: I love the idea , thanks very much :) 01:10:48 Harry Randhawa: Thanks Alison. 01:10:52 kate lattimore: thanks Alison, very interesting 01:10:53 Melissa Fernandez Arrigoitia: @matt: in terms of numbers, 30 households are often cited in literature on cohousing and design as an optimal number; some have many more (even hundreds, in places like Berlin) and operate based on smaller clusters. 01:11:31 Michael Williams: Thank you Alison 01:11:48 Sacha: Thanks Alison 01:12:38 Alex Skerten: Thank you Alison! Amazing person and life. 01:13:45 diane.dakers: The support structure and challenges seems to mirror very much the culture and environments of older supported housing 01:17:13 Jim Hudson: @diane.dakers Interesting thought. Two of the schemes in our CHIC project are supported housing but both self-managed - one of our key questions is what difference this self-management makes to the formal (paid) care as well as informal. 01:20:18 UKCN Owen Jarvis: Thanks Jeremy! owen@cohousing.org.uk - we're really interested in decision making processes (consensus vs other models like sociocracy) and how to create community cultures at the moment - a new role is emerging - Community Coaching. UKCN is also really focusing on cohousing's role in helping housing for healthy ageing over the next year looking at age-specific and more open models. 01:21:40 Sally Taylor-Ridgway: A Housing LIN guest blog by Frances Wright on 'Cohousing plus: Widening the housing choices for people with a learning disability': https://www.housinglin.org.uk/blogs/Cohousing-plus-Widening-the-housing-choices-for-people-with-a-learning-disability/ 01:22:35 UKCN Owen Jarvis: Sturts Farm in New Forest is an example of cohousing scheme which is fully inclusive and led by people with "learning difficulties". 01:23:10 Sarah Thorneycroft: Many thanks - I need to leave now but it has been a very informative session. 01:25:13 Sheila Peace: From Sheila - it raises the whole issue of age-segregation and age-integration but that’s a bigger issue. Can’t wait to read info from the CHIC study. Thank you for all your great work. 01:25:42 Jerome Billeter: Assessment of the evidence of financial benefits provided by Almshouses https://www.housinglin.org.uk/Topics/type/Assessment-of-the-evidence-of-financial-benefits-provided-by-Almshouses/ 01:29:35 Sheila Peace: From Sheila: important point of future funding Melissa 01:30:15 Ian Hanton: Fabulous session; rich and diverse insights and materials, thank you all 01:30:31 UKCN Owen Jarvis: Further reading - if you become a member of UKCN you can get the UK's First Guide to Cohousing - https://cohousing.org.uk/ 01:31:56 UKCN Owen Jarvis: LSE report is hugely important to have for the sector in our view at UKCN a very useful document to have completed. We've referred to it a lot. Still waiting to see how/where it lands - hence the question. 01:31:57 Jane Stageman: Thanks for an informative session with a number of valuable points for our project in Leeds that is in developmental stages - Jane Pride of Place Leeds. 01:33:01 jon stevens: Thanks for an excellent webinar and the in inspirational presentation by Alison. It is really encouraging that the many benefits (and some of the pitfalls) of CLH are being more extensively researched and evidenced. And great that HLIN is continuing to actively promote CLH. 01:33:37 Sally Taylor-Ridgway: Thank you all for attending today’s HAPPI Hour webinar. The recording and presentation slides will be uploaded on the Housing LIN website later in the week! 01:33:39 UKCN Owen Jarvis: Well done everyone. Exellent session 01:33:46 kate lattimore: thanks very much 01:34:04 Sally Taylor-Ridgway: Please do browse our previous and forthcoming HAPPI Hour webinars: https://www.housinglin.org.uk/Events/ForthcomingEvents/ 01:34:10 Melissa Fernandez Arrigoitia: Yael Arbell's work on diversity also very interesting. 01:34:17 Matt Wood Hudson Architects: Great session! Thanks Jeremey and guests...particularly Alison! 01:34:38 Liz Wilks: Thanks everyone. Very interesting information. 01:34:53 UKCN Owen Jarvis: New cohousing guide (updated version) due this June with a section on inclusion and diversity (thanks to Yael and a working group) 01:35:13 Melissa Fernandez Arrigoitia: great to hear, Owen! 01:35:14 Harry Randhawa: Thank you everyone. 01:35:15 Jonathan Orlek: Thanks all!
