Southend-on-Sea Borough Council Older People Housing Needs Assessment 2021

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is looking to commission a study that will outline the current and future need for different types of general needs housing, specialist housing and health and social care support for older people in the borough. Older people are defined as those of general retirement age and over, largely consisting of two cohorts of those aged 65 and over those aged 85 and over. The assessment will provide a statistically relevant and robust evidence base reviewing current housing and social care provision and indicate the future requirements of older people.

An important element of the assessment will be to seek the views of older people to gain a better understanding of the housing aspirations of older people and to use this information to better quantify future need. The study will review what we already know about older people's housing preferences and will map existing specialist housing across the borough.
