Report Calls For Improvements In Housing For Older People

A new Policy Exchange report reveals recommendations on improving the housing market for an ageing population. With housing continuing to race up the political agenda, a focus on young people’s experience of the housing market is often overlooked, the report finds. Compared to that of 11.9 million in 2016, projected numbers of 17.7 million living aged 65 and over will be seeking greater housing demands from the government, with a focus on providing better quality homes to improve people’s quality of life. The report further states that retirement housing needs to be a more desirable option and private providers should acknowledge the gap in the market for attractive retirement living.
