This report looks at how collaborative models of service delivery for older people are now being widely adopted in the health and care sectors, and suggests the housing sector could do more to embrace this approach. It argues that the provision of housing for older people still being largely 'provider led'. Drawing on a selection of nine case examples, the report looks at a range of resident-led and community based housing for older people across the country. The examples emphasise that collaborative housing schemes can be produced in a variety of ways from self-organised schemes through co-produced options to market (off-the shelf) developments promoted by specialist developers and providers. The report then outlines some issues that need to be addressed to promote and develop collaborative housing for older people. (Edited publisher abstract)
