Independent living units: their current and future role as an affordable housing option for older people

This is a study of Independent Living Units provided by not-for-profit organisations for older people. The project proposes to fill a significant gap in information and identify changes occurring in this sector. It will explore the potential, opportunities and disadvantages for linking this type of housing with support services for older people, and identify practical strategies that will enable older people with low assets and low incomes to have continued access to this type of accommodation. The project is funded by AHURI.
