In Northern Ireland today, Housing Associations provide over 10,000 sheltered flats or bungalow for older or disabled people.Schemes are provided by over 18 organisations of various sizes across Northern Ireland and yet many people are still unclear about what sheltered accommodation is and what benefits it offers older people.
Northern Ireland Housing Executive
The Northern Ireland Housing Executive is a non-departmental public body, established by the Housing Executive Act (Northern Ireland) 1971. Under this act, we took over the housing responsibilities of 65 separate authorities and became Northern Ireland's overall housing authority.We are also one of the province,s largest public sector organisations. With a budget of over £600m and a staff of over 3,000 we make a substantial contribution to better health, education and wellbeing through housing.
Close Care Retirement
Housing built with the special needs of the elderly in mind probably started with sheltered housing and most of that was and still is provided by philanthropic groups and charities together with the various local authorities throughout the country. Almost all of this will be for rent on a weekly or perhaps monthly tenancy. Most of these local authorities will have their own web-sites.Shelter
Shelter was founded in England in 1966 by the Reverend Bruce Kenrick, who was horrified by the state of the tenements round his Notting Hill parish. The setting up of the organisation in Scotland followed in 1968.Kenrick had formed the Notting Hill Housing Trust three years earlier to provide decent, affordable houses to rent in the area.
