This is the preliminary report of an on-going study of the views and experiences of frontline housing staff, in working with tenants with mental health problems. This study sought to explore what housing staff themselves thought actually works, or what would work, to improve communication and co-working between agencies, in order to help maintain vulnerable individuals in ordinary, mainstream or “general needs” housing. It explores in particular their experiences of trying to communicate and work with specialist mental health services, to meet the needs and challenges presented by these tenants.
