\"\"Imagine a society where your house is truly your home. A supportive, enabling environment that helps you realize your full personal and social potential. Imagine a society where such houses are within reach for Europeans of all ages, regardless of income, gender, race or ethnic background, sexual orientation, health status, or disability. This is the vision Homes4Life supports for 2040.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Our homes are more than just four walls and a roof. They are the places where we spend most of our time \u2013 up to 80% of our days and nights \u2013 when we reach 80 years of age. They are our familiar surroundings,\u00a0intimately tied to our personal history\u00a0and identity; the familiar surroundings\u00a0where we want to keep living for as\u00a0long as we possibly can. Our homes\u00a0help us to be independent and in\u00a0control of our lives; support us to\u00a0remain active and healthy; keep us\u00a0socially connected and engaged with\u00a0our environment and community; and\u00a0evolve with us as our lifestyle choices\u00a0and needs change with the passing of the years.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

If our homes do just that across the life course we consider them to be\u00a0age-friendly<\/strong>. Age- friendly housing is therefore relevant for all citizens and has a tremendous influence on our health and wellbeing, our social interactions and our capacity to participate in community life. Thus, age-friendly housing must become a key public policy based on three elements:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
    \n
  1. All relevant stakeholders must be aware of the issues,<\/li>\n
  2. Appropriate tools and policy frameworks should be in place, and<\/li>\n
  3. All stakeholders need incentives appropriate to their needs and concerns.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    Only then will it be possible to build new dwellings and retrofit existing ones at the scale required to support safe, healthy and independent living across the community.<\/p>\n
