Where and how do I want to live?

This document has been prepared within the framework of the Euskadi Lagunkoia Berria 2025 Challenge: New Models for Housing and Residential Care Facilities. Its purpose is, on the one hand, to serve as a resource to facilitate reflection on where and how we want to live throughout our lives—and especially when we need care; and, on the other hand, to serve as a repository of different housing alternatives available at the international, national, and local levels, addressing the various needs a person may have throughout their life. To achieve these objectives, the document is structured into two main sections:​

• I Want to Continue Living in My Own Home. This section focuses on people who wish to continue living in their own home, providing recommendations and resources aimed at maintaining their home as they age, and seeks to address challenges that may arise along the way, such as: making physical adaptations to the home; financial costs associated with renting or buying; or receiving care and support at home.
• I want or need to move to another home. This section is aimed at those who want or need to move to another residence; in this case, it offers various alternatives and solutions to address the diverse needs that may arise, such as financial, social, or care-related needs—or needs that combine more than one of these at a time.
