Respondent: Essex County Council
Representation Summary:
A gap exists in the provision of Independent Living housing across Essex. There are not sufficient numbers of Independent Living units to relieve pressure for residential care placements. A programme has been developed by ECC to increase the supply.
Within Brentwood, it is estimated that there are 267 eligible social care clients amongst the 27,041 persons aged 55 or over. By 2020, 134 units are required; 26 units are already provided, which leaves 108 still to be provided by 2020 (split 50/50 social rented/shared ownership).
