Resources

 

The Housing LIN website contains the widest range of resources on extra care housing for commissioners and providers. The Housing Learning and Improvement Network is part of the Care Services Improvement Partnership (CSIP) of the Department of Health.

We list below additional material developed by EAC and its partners as part of the ‘Raising the Stakes’ project, funded by the Housing Corporation and the Housing LIN to support the development of a range of successful housing with care solutions for older people
