This book sets out how people with mental health problems can become homeowners and live with greater independence and stability. Much has changed since the first edition was published in 1998. In particular, the Home and Communities Agency product Home Ownership for People with Long Term Disabilities (HOLD) has recognised the value of low-cost home ownership for people with mental health problems. Despite the growth of the potential market and government-backed home ownership initiatives for disabled people, it can still be a challenge for people with mental health problems to own their own home and for housing providers to help make this happen. This second edition gives organisations interested in this area practical information and issues to consider in delivering home ownership. It provides an overview of the options and looks in detail at the concepts and mechanics of how funding works. This guide is aimed at housing associations involved in shared ownership, as well as families with disabled relatives, care managers, social services teams and others who support and advise people with mental health problems.
