This report considers how to best address the challenge of providing homes that meet the needs and aspirations of the older people of the future.

A thirteen-member panel, chaired by Lord Best, was anchored by ourselves in conjunction with Pollard Thomas Edwards, working with Design for Homes. We organised the panel process, conducted background research and produced an in-depth report and series of case study films.

The HAPPI report was commissioned by the Homes and Communities Agency on behalf of Communities and Local Government and the Department of Health.
