The Future Housing and Support Needs of Older People in Northern Ireland

The project brief required: an analysis of demographic and policy trends to support informed decision making regarding future housing need assessment for older people; collation of information on the existing supply of accommodation for elderly people in relation to the distribution of the elderly population; and a ten-year projection, from 2006 to 2016, of the future housing needs of older people across a mix of tenures, for Northern Ireland overall and, on a more localised level, based on the proposed new local government districts.
