Public housing

While housing options may be limited due to rising property prices, many people still have choices about where and how they live.

If it’s affordable for you, buying a home offers financial security and a chance to establish community roots. Alternatively, you might be drawn to the social interaction that comes with living in retirement villages, or housing designed for people over 60.

Renting through a not-for-profit or co-housing arrangements like an Abbeyfield home may suit some. For those needing safe, warm accommodation, public housing options are available, with assistance from Work and Income. If a higher level of support is needed, a care home may be necessary.

The choice of where you live is yours to make!
