<p>As part of the Levelling Up White Paper, we announced a new taskforce to look at
ways we can provide more choice, better quality and greater security of housing for
older people, and support the growth of a thriving older people's housing sector.
This includes considering how to increase the supply of a range of specialist housing,
including housing with care, across the country.</p><p>This work will be taken forward
in partnership with the Department of Health and Social Care, building on the commitments
set out in their recent white paper on adult social care reform.</p><p>The taskforce
will examine barriers to increasing the supply of older peoples housing, as well as
the issues older people face when it comes to considering their housing options in
later life. This includes the role of the planning system in ensuring new development
caters for a diverse range of housing needs. Further information on the taskforce
will be announced soon.</p>
