This paper contributes to established and evolving debates about power and agency in welfare practice. It article argues that constructions of social phenomena in social policy and welfare scholarship think about the subjects and objects of welfare practice in essentialising ways, with negativistic effects for practitioners working in ‘regulatory’ contexts such as housing and homelessness practice. The analysis draws on a small-scale doctoral study into what housing and homelessness practice ‘looked like’ within a contemporary regulatory policy, political and popular climate. It builds into debates about power, agency, social policy and welfare by bringing psychosocial and feminist theorisations of relationality to practice research. It claims that relational approaches provide a starting point for the analysis of empirical practice data, by working through the relationship between the individual and the social via an ontological unpicking and revisioning of practitioners' social worlds.

England’s population is ageing, with 1 in 3 people projected to be aged 55 and over by 2030. Older people are a diverse group, ranging from economically powerful ‘baby boomers’ to over-85s with high care and support needs. In response to this demographic shift, policies on the availability and suitability of housing for older people are required. Providing the right kinds of accommodation for older people, in the right places, would lead to positive well-being and health outcomes for them, and would help to create movement in the housing market by freeing up family sized homes. This report considers how to promote a greater supply of housing for older people and how to facilitate home moves for those who choose to move. It focuses mainly on homeowners and the private housing market. The report was informed by: a market assessment of housing options for older people; a survey of respondents aged 55 and over; secondary analysis of existing literature and data sources; and informal consultation with sector stakeholders. After considering the current market for older people’s housing and older people’s attitudes towards housing, the report goes on to argue the benefits of improving the housing offer for older people, why developers and planners should pay attention to this market, and how to overcome some of the barriers to providing better housing options for older people.
