Case Studies - Seaside & Country Homes
Case Study 1 - Mrs Shubert
June Shubert has recently moved to Lowestoft in Suffolk through the Seaside & Country Homes scheme. We caught up with her to find out how she was finding her new home and new life away from London.
June had originally heard about the scheme when a neighbour moved from London to Beccles in Suffolk. Unhappy in London and looking for a new start she contacted the housingmoves team.
housingmoves sent June an Application Form (PDF 389 kb) and within a month of completing it she had viewed and moved into her new home in Lowestoft.

Case Study 2 - Eileen Filmer
When you think of the Isle of Wight what comes to mind? Perhaps you recall images of the yachts amassed in the harbour for Cowes Week or maybe the legendary music festivals of the sixties.
One thing for sure is that the island is synonymous with summer holidays for a huge number of London residents. Now, the Seaside & Country Homes scheme could make the island your home too.
Take Eileen Filmer for instance. She moved from a Broomleigh Housing Association home in the south of London to a Places for People property in Newport on the Isle of Wight.
Having been born in, and lived and worked in London, for her whole life any move would represent a huge challenge but Eileen believes it’s the best decision she has made in years.

Case Study 3 - Anne Dolan
London is a wonderful city. Thousands of tourists from around the world visit its many attractions; it is soon to host the Olympic Games and attracts business from all over the globe.
Yet London is not always ideal for everyone; even many people who have grown up in the capital seek an alternative from the fast pace of city life as they approach retirement.
Anne Dolan is one such former London resident. Anne moved with her husband eight years ago from a council flat in the centre of Islington in north-east London to a two bedroom flat in the pleasant coastal town of Worthing, in West Sussex, managed by Places for People.
