The Retirement Housing Group (RHG) is a membership organisation that represents providers of all types and tenures of retirement housing in the UK. It is the only body of its type in the country.
We believe retirement housing can provide a great solution to people looking for more assistance and support in later life. However, because of many restraints the UK does not currently build enough new housing suitable for older people.
Our members
Our members represent all parts of the retirement housing sector, including those providing retirement housing with care and with support, and across all tenures, as well as other organisations supporting the sector and providing services.
This means we cover the full range of issues from designing, planning, building, selling and managing housing across all tenures for people who are retired.
Our aims
- Improve housing choices for older people
- Promote the benefits of retirement housing
- Undertake research to demonstrate demand
- Advise on planning policies to meet older people’s needs
- Show how barriers to development can be overcome
- Bring evidence and solutions to decision makers
