ALONE call for greater housing options for older people as the Land Development Agency is launched

ALONE, the charity that supports older people to age at home, has welcomed yesterday’s launch of the state-sponsored Land Development Agency (LDA), but is urging that housing options for older people are carefully considered. Following the announcement to create 150,000 new homes over the next 20 years and provide long-term stability in the housing market, ALONE is calling on the LDA to develop a range of housing options in keeping with the demands of Ireland’s ageing population.
