Housing: Older People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for his policies of the report by the Older People’s Housing Taskforce entitled Our Future Homes: Housing that promotes wellbeing and community for an ageing population, published on 26 November 2024.
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.
