Housing: Older People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to her statement of 30 July 2024 entitled, Building the homes we need, what steps she has taken to help ensure that the needs of an older population form part of her long-term housing strategy.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The government is giving careful consideration to the recommendations in the final report of the Older People’s Housing Taskforce.
We are committed to enhancing provision and choice for older people in the housing market and we will continue to consider this issue as we develop our long-term housing strategy, which will be published later this year.
I regularly engage with my Ministerial colleagues to ensure that work across government delivers housing designed for specific groups, including older people.
