Delivered in partnership with the University of Stirling
This year, Scottish Housing Day will focus on Homes for Life and we’re encouraging people to think about how the housing sector can better support people in later life as needs and priorities change. Hear more about our special Scottish Housing Day report on the subject of ‘Homes for Life’, as well as hearing from minister for housing Paul McLennan MSP.
Our population is ageing faster in Scotland than in the rest of the UK, and as people grow older their housing needs can change. This might require some simple adaptations to make homes more accessible, technology to support day-to-day activities, or planning to move to a more suitable home that’s closer to family or local amenities, or easier to manage.
But we know that many people don’t think about their housing needs or plan for the future, and that it may not always be easy to find the right information and advice about housing or other support that’s available.
This year, we want to encourage people to think about housing for people in later life as we facilitate a nationwide discussion on housing needs and how we can plan for the future – as individuals, communities, housing organisations and policy makers.
