This new Housing LIN guest blog, written by Dr Dianne-Dominique Theakstone, Paula Rogers and Vikki McCall from the University of Stirling’s ISPA project, explores how disability, stigma, age and place intersect to shape everyday life.
HLINks returns after the summer break with a catch-up edition featuring housing, health, and social care updates, inclusive developments, Accessible Homes Week, HAPPI Hour webinars, awards, reports, policy insights, guest reflections, and more!
Access to adequate and safe housing is recognised as a human right according to the United Nations and one of the core elements is the accessibility of a dwelling. We are therefore proud to support Habinteg’s Accessible Homes Week to celebrate what an accessible home can do for a person's wellbeing, independence and overall quality of life.
In this blog, emh CEO, Chan Kataria focusses on why emh cares and the leadership imperatives to deliver a viable business while holding on to the organisation’s caring Mission.
We are pleased to advise that Arcadis’ Englishcombe Lane supported housing development has won this year’s Housing Design Awards HAPPI prize. With an increasing focus on designing for neuro-diversity across all ages, the scheme delivers much-needed supported housing accommodations in Bath for individuals with autism, learning disabilities, and mobility issues.
We are pleased to announce that Bield Housing & Care, a leading housing association providing homes and support for older people across Scotland, has become the first Scottish sponsor of Housing LIN, the professional network for those working in housing, health, and social care.
United St Saviour’s Charity’s Appleby Blue almshouse in Bermondsey has been shortlisted for this year’s prestigious RIBA Stirling Prize. It is one of only 6 buildings nominated for outstanding architecture to make the finals next month.
The project - A Vision of Ageing at Home - aims to influence housing policy so that older people can keep their independence and live safely in their own homes.
This Autumn/Winter, we are excited to be bringing you a fresh line-up of HAPPI Hour webinars, exploring the latest thinking in housing design, policy, and practice!
