Exploring the inequality and affordability challenges in older people’s housing
About this Event

Following on from the huge success of last year’s event, Housing 21’s annual conference will return in October 2022, with the title:

Exploring the Affordability and Inequality Challenges in Older People’s Housing. .The Housing 21 conference brings together speakers from across the housing sector, academia and policy makers, to discuss the pressing issues, developments and topics in the world of housing for older people

• Inequalities within older generations are some of the most extreme in society today and continue to deepen. We will explore this by looking at older people’s access to housing, care and technology and question: Will the levelling up agenda help to address any of this?

• Housing is the most basic of our needs, so why aren’t there any solutions to the housing crisis?

• Adult social care needs reforming to ease the burden on informal carers and to obtain better outcomes, how can we achieve this?

• Digital by default increases exclusion for older people, what needs to change?
