Sheltered Housing Campaign Launched

A campaign has been launched to champion the role of sheltered housing as a valuable community resource whilst helping cut Government spending and meet the needs of the ‘Big Society’. The national consortium for sheltered and retirement housing, ERoSH, launched its campaign ‘Reaching out – sheltered housing, a community resource’ at the House of Commons. The six-month campaign, which started on February 15, will see ERoSH work with its 200 members across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to demonstrate how sheltered housing can be used as a community resource to benefit the wider community.
