Birmingham City Council, in partnership with Housing 21, a leading not-for-profit provider of housing and care for older people of modest means, has identified land in Lozells and Saltley to provide the city’s first co-housing projects for older people.

Housing 21, a leading housing association for older people of modest means, has been downgraded from a G1 to a G2 rating by the Regulator of Social Housing. The Governance downgrade is due to issues involving rent setting processes and controls.

One of Housing 21's very own Care Workers stars in the July/August issue of the Boots Health and Beauty Magazine. Nelab Sabiri, a Care Worker at Belsize Court, shares her inspirational story of working in care during the COVID-19 crisis.

The new Housing 21 development for people over the age of 55 is under construction on Whittington Road and has now been named as ‘Crookbarrow View’, which was chosen to celebrate a local mound with prehistoric activity.

We are committed to supporting our employees who have caring responsibilities outside of their main role at Housing 21. This Carers Week we are delighted to be able to share some of their stories with you.

From providing independent living with access to on-site care and support in Extra Care, to building fully accessible homes in our new build schemes, we are committed to caring for our communities.

Progress has now been made on the name of the scheme, which is set to be ‘Willow Gardens’ after developers took inspiration from Edward Stone who experimented with willow bark and discovered Aspirin in Chipping Norton in the 1700s.

An extra care development for people over the age of 55 in Great Ayton has successfully completed construction work.

An Extra Care Living scheme in Aldridge received a visit from famous boxer, Amir Khan after Thursday 14 May’s clap for our carers.
