Northern Ireland like many other jurisdictions has an increasing number of older people facing particular housing issues.

  • The range of housing options in Northern Ireland available for older people
  • Homelessness & accessing supported/sheltered accommodation
  • The role of NIHE/Social Services
  • Accessing maintaining and paying for private rented accommodation
  • Accessing maintaining and paying for social housing for older people including a look at sole and joint tenancies

 

Outcome of course:
