Housing 21
Overview
Housing 21 is a leading not-for-profit provider of Extra Care and Retirement Living for older people.
The organisation supports people to live well, stay independent and feel part of a community. It provides housing, care and support across a wide range of local areas.
Housing 21 operates in 220 local authority areas. It manages more than 24,000 properties and provides over 48,000 hours of in-house care each week.
In plain English, Housing 21 helps older people live with more choice, dignity and support. A strangely sensible idea, which means it will probably need several committees, a strategy document and a logo refresh at some point.
