Draft Older People's Housing Strategy 2025-2030

We have written the Strategy after hearing what older residents told us about their housing and support needs, and following the consultation on the Housing Strategy 2024-2034 itself. Now we just need to check if we’ve got it right.  

The survey is open to people of all ages, whether you rent or own your home, but we would particularly like to hear from older adults.

Links to the draft Older People’s Housing Strategy and to a one-page summary can be found on the right of the screen.  

What happens to my feedback?

We do not ask for any personally identifiable information such as your name or contact details, so your feedback will be anonymous.   However, we do ask for information about specific characteristics that people may have such as ethnicity or disability. This helps us compare what different groups of people, with different views and experiences, might think.

We will analyse all the feedback carefully, in line with the 2018 Data Protection Act and 2018 GDPR legislation that sets out how information can be used and is kept safe.

Once the consultation is completed and the feedback has been analysed, all personal data collected will be deleted.

We have written the Strategy after hearing what older residents told us about their housing and support needs and following the consultation on the Housing Strategy 2024-2034 itself. Now we just need to check if we’ve got it right.

This survey is designed for representatives of organisations working across the housing, health, care, energy and voluntary sectors. Successful delivery of the Strategy can only be achieved in partnership and your feedback on how your organisation could get involved to help deliver the priorities will help us to develop the Strategy’s action plan which will follow.

The survey should take around 15 minutes to do and will close on 12th March 2025.

We have written a draft Strategy to make housing and housing services better for older people living in Sheffield. 

A Strategy is a plan of things to be done to make things better over time.

We want to know what people think of our ideas in the plan and have some questions to ask you. 

We would especially like to hear from older people aged over 65 years old. 

We will use what you tell us to make changes and finish the plan. 

Please answer as many questions as you can. The survey closes on Wednesday 12^th March 2025. 

What happens to my feedback?

We do not ask for your name, so we will not know who you are from your answers.   We do ask some questions about you, like your age and who you live with so that we can see what different people say. 

We will look at all the feedback carefully, in line with the 2018 Data Protection Act and 2018 GDPR law that sets out how information can be used and is kept safe. 

Once the consultation is completed and the feedback has been looked at, all personal data collected will be deleted.
