Research and informed comment immediately before and after the introduction of the community care reforms suggested: that housing issues are not adequately considered by social services when community care assessments are undertaken; housing agencies do not become involved in assessments due to uncertainty about what is involved and the resource implications; there are significant differences in assessments by different professions; user's freedom of choice is limited; and that the housing allocation policies of local authorities and housing associations have not been adapted to the new demands arising from community care. This study examines these assertions and assesses how far they can still be said to be true.
