Difficult to let Sheltered Housing by. Anthea Tinker, Fay Wright and Hannah Zeilig, published by HMSO, 1995, £17.50 This study is based on research involving a national survey of all local authorities and all large housing associations and a sample of small housing associations in England and Wales. There was a response rate of 80%. Case studies were carried out in four local authorities and four housing associations. The report shows that despite the success story of sheltered housing 92% of local authorities and 79% of large housing associations have a problem letting some of their sheltered housing. This does not necessarily indicate over provision, but rather relates to the quality of the accommodation and its convenience related to local facilities. Community care policies which result in mole elderly people remaining in their own homes may however, reduce the demand for Category 2 accommodation.
