public affairs

As part of our commitment to a life of choice for older people, Housing 21 actively campaigns to improve outcomes for those who use our services. We believe that in a rapidly changing political and economic environment we should strive to influence debate on policies that will have an effect on our residents and service users.

As one of the largest providers of care, health and housing services in England we are well positioned to comment on proposed changes and their subsequent effects and consequences.
