Housing Options for Our Ageing Population-Joint Policy Statement On 27 February 2019, a joint policy statement entitled Housing Options for our Ageing Population was launched by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the Department of Health. The joint policy statement was prepared against the backdrop of research showing that Ireland’s population is ageing and that by 2051 it is estimated that there will be approximately 1.6 million people over 65 years old living in Ireland. ‘Housing Options for Our Ageing Population’ provides a framework by which the Government not only facilitates and promotes a variety of housing options for older people, including housing with support, it also promotes the putting in place of measures to ensure that sustainable housing (with supports where required) is provided in the right locations in order to enable older people to age in their community if that is their wish. The policy document sets out 40 Priority Actions incorporating six fundamental principles derived from extensive research on the needs of older people on which the strategic planning in the document is based. These are: - Putting in place measures to ensure that sustainable housing is provided in the right location to enable people to age in the community - Framing policy and implementation to ensure that they support the renewal and regeneration of urban centres - Designing housing and the environment in accordance with the principles of sustainable lifetime housing - Promoting the use of assistive technology to support people to live independently - Ensuring there is adequate consideration to the need for social connectedness in devising policy - Working collaboratively with all stakeholders to achieve the policy objectives Implementation Group An Implementation Group to oversee the Actions was established in September 2019 and includes membership from the two Departments, the Health Service Executive, Local Authorities and relevant stakeholders. In view of the large number of Actions which involve a significant number of agencies four subgroups were established to examine specific Actions from the policy statement under specific work streams. The Implementation Group has published two reports which are available here. They detail the work being carried out by the Implementation Group and the Sub-Groups to the end of June 2020. The Groups are continuing their work and a third report will be published in 2021. Housing For All (2021) Over the next five years the Government is committed to: - Put affordability at the heart of the housing system; - Prioritise the increased supply of public, social and affordable homes; - Progress a State-backed affordable home purchase scheme to promote home ownership; - Increase the social housing stock by more than 50,000, with an emphasis on new builds; - Tackle homelessness; - Ensure local authorities are central to delivering housing; - Work with the private sector to ensure that there is an appropriate mix and type of housing provided nationally; and - Improve the supply and affordability of rental accommodation and the security of tenure for renters. To deliver on these commitments, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has begun the process of drafting a new vision to replace Rebuilding Ireland for likely publication mid-year. Like the chapter in the Programme for Government, it will be called ‘Housing for All’. For Housing for All to make a difference on the scale that is required, it is being developed with a whole of Government approach and the Department is actively working with the relevant key Departments to deliver this policy statement and action plan later this year. Rebuilding Ireland-Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness which was published in July 2016 is a five-year Government plan. Rebuilding Ireland and Older People Rebuilding Ireland re-iterates Government policy to support older people to live with dignity and independence in homes and communities of their choosing for as long as possible. It also recognises that the ageing of the Irish population presents challenges for public policy in housing, health and urban and rural planning and commits to expanding the range of housing options for older people, including housing with supports. Actions 2.16 to Actions 2.19 outline how this will be achieved through best practice models, supporting innovation in design and new technologies and providing grant funding for the adaptation of existing homes. The Housing Options for our Ageing Population Joint Policy Statement was developed to put in place the framework to achieve the objectives of the Actions in Rebuilding Ireland. For more information on Rebuilding Ireland visit www.rebuildingireland.ie Programme for Government The Programme for Government (2020) provides a commitment to an Age Friendly Ireland, that recognises the relationship between housing and health. It recognises that housing, where possible, should improve choice and enable older people to remain in their communities, close to their families and support network, while accessing health and social care. It commits to an increase in housing choice for older people to allow them to “Age in Place” where possible. Sláintecare Sláintecare is a new vision for the health service in Ireland. The Sláintecare programme aims to provide a singe-tier health and social care system that is available to all based on need not on ability to pay. It focuses on providing health and social care in the right place at the right time, and places an emphasis on primary and community services. The Healthy Age Friendly Homes Programme is an initiative, funded by Sláintecare, that aims to enable older people to continue living in their homes or in a home more suited to their needs, live with a sense of independence and autonomy, be and feel part of their community, and support the avoidance of early or premature admission to long term residential care.

Roghanna Tithíochta dár nDaonra atá ag Aosú-Comhráiteas Beartais Ar an 27 Feabhra 2019, sheol an Roinn Tithíochta, Rialtais Áitiúil agus Oidhreachta agus an Roinn Sláinte comhráiteas beartais dar teideal Roghanna Tithíochta dár nDaonra atá ag Aosú. Ullmhaíodh an comhráiteas beartais ag féachaint do thaighde atá déanta a léiríonn go bhfuil daonra na hÉireann ag aosú agus faoi mbliain 2051 meastar go mbeidh thart ar 1.6 milliún duine atá níos sine ná 65 bliain d’aois ina gcónaí in Éirinn. Soláthraítear in ‘Roghanna Tithíochta dár nDaonra atá ag Aosú’ creat a chabhraíonn leis an Rialtas roghanna tithíochta do dhaoine scothaosta a éascú agus a chur chun cinn, lena n-áirítear tithíocht le tacaíocht, tacaíonn sé freisin le bearta a bhunú lena chinntiú go bhfuil tithíocht inbhuanaithe (le tacaíochtaí más gá) á cur ar fáil sna suíomhanna cearta chun cur ar chumas daoine scothaosta maireachtáil ina bpobal féin más é sin a rogha. Sonraítear sa bheartas 40 Gníomh Tosaíochta ina gcuimsítear sé phrionsabal bhunúsacha atá bunaithe ar thaighde suntasach a rinneadh maidir le riachtanais daoine scothaosta ar a bhfuil an phleanáil straitéiseach sa doiciméad bunaithe. Seo a leanas na prionsabail atá i gceist: - .• Bearta a bhunú lena chinntiú go bhfuil tithíocht inbhuanaithe á soláthar san áit cheart chun cur ar chumas daoine atá ag dul in aois fanacht ina bpobal féin - • Beartas agus cur chun feidhme a fhrámú lena chinntiú go dtacaíonn siad le hathnuachan agus le hathghiniúint lárionad uirbeach - • Tithíocht agus an timpeallacht a dhearadh de réir na bprionsabal a bhaineann le tithíocht inbhuanaithe ar feadh an tsaoil - • Tacú le húsáid a bhaint as teicneolaíocht chúnta chun tacú le daoine maireachtáil go neamhspleách - • A chinntiú go bhfuil breithniú mar is cuí á dhéanamh ar an ngá atá le nascacht shóisialta i ndáil le beartas a fhorbairt - • Oibriú i gcomhpháirt le gach páirtí leasmhar chun na cuspóirí beartais a chomhlíonadh Grúpa Forfheidhmithe I Meán Fómhair 2019 bunaíodh Grúpa Forfheidhmithe chun maoirseacht a dhéanamh ar na Gníomhartha agus páirteach ann tá baill ón dá Roinn, Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte, Údaráis Áitiúla agus páirtithe leasmhara ábhartha. I bhfianaise líon mór Gníomhartha a gcuimsítear iontu líon suntasach gníomhaireachtaí, bunaíodh ceithre fhoghrúpa chun scrúdú a dhéanamh ar Ghníomhartha sonracha ón ráiteas beartais faoi shruthanna oibre sonracha. Tá dhá thuarascáil foilsithe ag an nGrúpa Forfheidhmithe atá ar fáil anseo. Sonraítear iontu an obair atá á cur i gcrích ag an nGrúpa Forfheidhmithe agus ag na Foghrúpaí go dtí deireadh mhí an Mheithimh 2020. Tá na Grúpaí ag leanúint lena gcuid oibre agus foilseofar an tríú tuarascáil in 2021. Tithíocht do Chách (2021) As seo go ceann cúig bliana tá an Rialtas tiomanta do: - • Inacmhainneacht a chur ag croílár an chórais tithíochta - • Tús áite a thabhairt do sholáthar méadaithe tithe poiblí, sóisialta agus inacmhainne; - • Dlús a chur le scéim ceannacháin tithe inacmhainne a bhfuil an Stát ag tacú léi chun úinéireacht tithe a spreagadh; - • 50,000 teach a chur leis an stoc tithíochta sóisialta, agus béim a leagan ar thithe nua a thógáil; - • Déileáil le heaspa dídine; - • A chinntiú go bhfuil ról lárnach ag údaráis áitiúla i soláthar tithíochta; - • Oibriú leis an earnáil phríobháideach lena chinntiú go bhfuil meascán agus cineál oiriúnach tithíochta á soláthar ar fud na tíre; agus - • Soláthar agus inacmhainneacht cóiríocht chíosa agus sláine tionóntachta do chíosaithe. Chun na gealltanais seo a chur i gcrích, tá tús curtha ag an Roinn Tithíochta, Rialtais Áitiúil agus Oidhreachta leis an bpróiseas a bhaineann le fís nua a dhréachtú a thiocfaidh in ionad Atógáil Éireann a bhfuiltear ag súil a fhoilseofar i lár na bliana. Cosúil leis an gcaibidil i gClár an Rialtais, ‘Tithíocht do Chách’ a thabharfar air. Ionas go mbeidh Tithíocht do Chách in ann difríocht a dhéanamh ag an scála riachtanach, tá sé á fhorbairt bunaithe ar chur chuige uile-Rialtais agus tá an Roinn ag obair ar bhonn gníomhach leis na príomh-Ranna chun an ráiteas beartais seo a chur i gcrích agus an plean gníomhaíochta níos déanaí sa bhliain. Atógáil Éireann Is plean Rialtais cúig bliana é Atógáil Éireann-Plean Gníomhaíochta um Thithíocht agus Easpa Dídine a foilsíodh i mí Iúil 2016. Atógáil Éireann agus Daoine Scothaosta Leagtar béim an athuair in Atógáil Éireann ar bheartas an Rialtais tacú le daoine scothaosta maireachtáil le dínit agus go neamhspleách i dtithe agus i bpobail dá rogha féin chomh fada agus is féidir leo. Chomh maith leis sin, sainaithnítear ann go gcruthaíonn aosú dhaonra na hÉireann dúshláin do bheartas poiblí a bhaineann le tithíocht, sláinte, pleanáil uirbeach agus tuaithe agus tugtar gealltanas ann cur leis an raon tacaíochtaí tithíochta atá ar fáil do dhaoine scothaosta, lena n-áirítear tithíocht le tacaíochtaí. Déantar cur síos i nGníomhartha 2.16 – 2.19 ar conas a chuirfear é seo i gcrích trí shamhlacha dea-chleachtais, lena n-áirítear nuálaíocht i ndearadh agus i dteicneolaíochtaí nua agus maoiniú deontais a chur ar fáil chun tithe atá tógtha cheana féin a oiriúnú. Forbraíodh an Comhráiteas Beartais Roghanna Tithíochta dár nDaonra atá ag Aosú chun creat a bhunú chun na cuspóirí atá sonraithe i nGníomhartha Atógáil Éireann a chomhlíonadh. Tá tuilleadh eolais maidir le Atógáil Éireann le fáil ar www.rebuildingireland.ie Clár an Rialtais Soláthraítear in An Clár Rialtais (2020) gealltanas maidir le hÉirinn atá Aoisbháúil, a thugann aitheantas do chaidreamh atá idir tithíocht agus sláinte. Aithnítear ann gur cheart do thithíocht, áit ar féidir, an rogha atá ar fáil a fheabhsú agus cur ar chumas daoine scothaosta fanacht ina gcónaí ina bpobail féin, gar dá dteaghlaigh agus líonra tacaíochta, fad is atá tairbhe á baint acu as cúram sláinte agus sóisialta. Tugtar tiomantas ann cur leis an rogha tithíochta atá ar fáil do dhaoine scothaosta chun deis a thabhairt dóibh “Aosú ina nÁit Féin” más féidir. Sláintecare Is fís nua don tseirbhís sláinte in Éirinn é Sláintecare. Tá sé mar aidhm le clár Sláintecare córas cúraim sláinte agus shóisialta leibhéal amháin a sholáthar a bheidh ar fáil do chách bunaithe ar riachtanas ní ar chumas íoc as seirbhísí.
