Detailed ethnographic study examining the practice of a local authority rehabilitation and community support unit. Describes the development of the unit, looking in turn at patterns of care, use of the concepts of time and activity in rehabilitation, the location of the unit in the community, and the people who use and work in the service.

This article analyses whether the failures in community care can be derived from failures in the provision of housing owing to the underestimation of its role in the community care process. Asks whether community care overlooked the basic housing needs of discharged patients rendering impossible any effective benefits which could have been achieved from the community care policy and whether the law relating to housing rights failed to ensure an adequate framework for care in the community, thereby exacerbating the problems faced by released psychiatric patients.
