“When I was on the HH Board a few years ago the excuse for the long period of voids was that there was too much Sheltered Housing in the Borough which our senior residents did not want and this skewed the figures”

Is Hounslow Homes sitting on vacant sheltered public housing stock and using a statistical response to dismiss a conversation over high levels of empty properties?
Does a statistical response such as this, stop the conversation?

I wonder why these rooms (let’s call vacant properties, rooms) are vacant and what measures are being taken to establish why they are vacant.

I wonder - PEOPLE do not want public sheltered accommodation or there is too much public sheltered accommodation available, or there is no need for sheltered accommodation?

I wonder why the defining line between Council (public) housing stock and private ownership – is so clearly defined?

Individuals (PEOPLE) and individual (PEOPLE) circumstances and the reasons for the need for sheltered accommodation are as varied as pebbles on a beach, so how is the approach to filling accommodation such as this?  Is it just as varied?

For instance, colleagues in Social services dealing with the elderly have on going knowledge of people who own their own homes, having a need for sheltered housing – so can they be considered for this public (PEOPLE) accommodation?

Often it is very important for people and their families to keep a hold onto the family home so why not work out a package such as renting out their house through HH whilst retaining ownership, and at the same time allowing them to rent public sheltered accommodation.  I wonder does anything like this happen.
