Housing for All commits to increasing the housing options available to older people to facilitate ageing in place with dignity and independence, including the development of a policy on rightsizing. The Housing for All policy objective to make more efficient use of existing housing stock includes tasking my Department with the development of a national policy on rightsizing and to explore options to support and incentivise rightsizing on a voluntary basis.

Work continues to be advanced in my Department to inform and progress the development of national policy on rightsizing with the objective of bringing forward a draft national policy as soon as possible.
