Welcome to the seventh issue of Open, brought to you by the Housing Corporation,
the national affordable homes agency.

In this issue, the features focus on an ageing society. We show how housing associations are using innovative design and funding approaches in their new homes for older people. Plus, we explain how services are being adapted to provide the kind of care that older residents really want.

There is also a directory of research and guidance published by the Housing
Corporation and others, which will help you find the expertise you’re looking for on this subject.
