Three Dragons
Catherine Stubbings and Kathleen Dunmore's successful conferences on behalf of the Retirement Housing Group - Housing Choice for Older People - introduced new research and good practice to encourage new ideas on meeting housing needs and aspirations in our ageing society. Our Leeds conference in October 2010 generated a submission to the Dilnot Review of funding for care. It highlighted the role that good housing plays in delaying the need for care and support and showed how helping people to release funds from their homes can ensure that scarce care funding targets those in greatest need.
Kathleen Dunmore and Lin Cousins, founders of Three Dragons, bring together specialist skills in town planning, economics and policy development. They have an established track record in research and policy development across all aspects of new housing provision and its role in the planning and development process.
