Home improvement agency
Definition
From:
NICE Guideline NG6 - Excess winter deaths and illness and the health risks associated with cold homes
Home improvement agencies are local organisations that help older people, people with disabilities and vulnerable people to live in safety and with dignity in their own homes. Services focus on ensuring existing housing is fit for purpose and that vulnerable people, predominantly homeowners, can live independently for as long as possible. Locally they may be known as 'care and repair' or 'staying put' agencies.
