Webinar 30 June 2020: Age-friendly housing in the context of the COVID-19 crisis

In this one-hour webinar, the European project “Homes4Life” invites experts to discuss how an age-friendly approach to housing is more than ever needed to ensure people can age in healthy environments.

We are glad to announce that will be part of the conversation:

  • Alice Pittini from Housing Europe, the European network of public, cooperative and social housing, that published “#StayAtHome and Europe’s housing crisis” commenting on how the COVID-19 crisis exposed the shortcomings of our housing policies;
  • Holly Holder from the Centre for Ageing Better, a UK charitable foundation that wrote, in the middle of the pandemic, “Keeping people safe at home? What self-isolation means for those living in poor housing” elaborating on the issues faced by older people living in poor quality homes during the COVID-19 outbreak.
  • Alfonso Lara Montero, Chief Executive at the European Social Network (ESN), the independent network for local public social services in Europe, will expand on how the COVID-19 crisis emphasised the role of care providers in creating supportive and enabling home environments.


We invite you to join us for this exciting conversation!
