Workstream E - Wider Planning for an Ageing Population - Housing and Communities
JIT have been heavily involved in the development of the housing, support and communities ‘agenda’ for the Reshaping Care programme.
'Wider Planning for an Ageing Population' is the housing and communities workstream of the joint Scottish Government/COSLA/NHS ‘Reshaping Care for Older People’ programme. The programme aims to engage all interests in reshaping care and support services, so that we meet policy objectives in ways that are sustainable. You can find out further information about the Reshaping Care programme here.
The Wider Planning for an Ageing Population Working Group completed its final report in March 2010. It identified five main outcomes for older people’s housing, covering clear strategic leadership; making best use of existing housing stock; new housing provision; low level, preventative support; and supporting infrastructure, and proposed a range of actions to achieve them.

A consultation on the final report was launched at the Housing Options for Older People conference on 29 June 2010 and continued until late September. The consultation sought views on the report and its proposed outcomes and actions from a wide range of housing and service providers, older people and others with an interest in ageing population issues.
