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
