Abstract:

The Research Directory: Older People & Housing provides the first comprehensive overview of current and recent research into older people's housing across the whole of the UK. The Directory should be an invaluable resource to housing associations, local government, health authorities, charities and social researchers. This article reviews the role of research in housing organisations, emphasising the need for research to be translated into practice, finding effective ways to promote it and facilitating future debate across the whole of the housing and care sector.
