| dc.description.abstract | Housing is a constant talking point in Irish society. The housing sector is frequently associated with structural and systemic issues that permeate throughout society. A common challenge faced by people is gaining access to suitable and affordable housing. This is especially true for older members of the population and in particular those who are seeking access to supported accommodation. S.H.A.R.E is a housing charity who provide supported independent living accommodation for the over 60 population in Cork City. The research undertaken is an exploration and discussion of the process of connecting clients to the organisation. The aim of the research is to explore the referral pathway to S.H.A.R.E and to discuss the overall relevancy of the housing model of S.H.A.R.E. This research was undertaken in collaboration with S.H.A.R.E and completed as part of a CARL initiative in UCC. The research conforms to social constructionism, an interpretivist approach and a community-based research process. The primary research was completed through conducting six semi-structured interviews with professionals working in the housing sector. The findings of the research illustrate the importance of providing suitable housing for older people in Ireland and the value of having a housing model that allows for ‘ageing in place’. The research also alludes to the importance of communication and collaboration between different housing providers for the benefit of their clients. A number of recommendations informed by the findings are outlined and put forward. | en |
