Marc’s Story
Extra Care Housing
“Supported Housing”
• What is Extra Care Housing and what does it mean for veterans?
• Currently have 404 units and looking to understand how we meet the needs of the ageing population.
• Housing is a priority to us and we want to change the dynamics of Extra Care and ensure diversity.
• Extra Care is not for everyone, but for some it means they can maintain their independence whilst being part of the community
• This is an opportunity to have a voice and become involved in the shaping of Extra Care Housing for the veteran community
