New Housing Strategy for Older People – ‘Living Longer, Living Better - Housing for an Age-friendly Manchester’

This is a key strategy for Manchester – the UK’s first Age Friendly City. It sets out how housing for older people will develop over the coming years and what action is needed to be taken now. It links to how care and health services will be provided for the older population. It describes how Manchester can build to make the city an attractive place for people to grow older, living as independently as possible.

All of the documents relating to the consultation are available on the website to be read or printed.
