40 Recommendation: A supported housing scheme for older Chinese people should be included in the Social <strong>Housing</strong> Development Programme as soon as possible.
7. Conclusions and Recommendations 7.1 The research confirms that there is already sufficient interest in and support for a supported accommodation scheme for older Chinese people in Derry/Londonderry City. Findings show the following: • Half of older respondents (17) saw themselves moving into supported accommodation in the future; the same number (17) stated that it would be their preference to do so. • Almost three-quarters of older respondents (25) said that, if a supported accommodation scheme for older Chinese people was available in the Derry/Londonderry City area, they would consider living there. 7.2 On the basis of these key findings in particular, the Steering Group for the research project agreed the following recommendations: • To undertake a follow-up survey of the 25 respondents who expressed an interest in the proposed scheme, with a view to identifying more clearly their housing requirements and putting them on the waiting list for social housing. • A supported housing scheme for older Chinese people should be included in the Social <strong>Housing</strong> Development Programme as soon as possible. • The proposed scheme should comprise 16-20 dwellings, with the details of scheme design to be agreed at a later date. • A suitable site for the proposed scheme in the Waterside should be identified, perhaps as part of the Ebrington Barracks complex. 41
