This resource tool has been produced to support health, social care and housing commissioners and providers who are seeking to deliver a more therapeutic pathway to recovery at lower cost. It starts from the premise that housing is recognised as a central part of the mental health recovery pathway. It is designed to support the continued development of a more outcome-based approach to commissioning on the one hand and a more integrated approach to service provision on the other. It is one of a series of papers commissioned by the NMHDU to help define the new relationships needed between NHS organisations and providers of housing related support services.

This study examines how different types of supported accommodation meet the needs of people with mental health problems. Supported accommodation covers a wide range of different types of housing, including intensive 24 hour support, hostel accommodation, and accommodation with only occasional social support or assistance provided. The document focuses on five approaches to providing supported accommodation, including: Care Support Plus; integrated support; housing support for people who have experienced homeless; complex needs; low-level step down accommodation; and later life. The report draws on the expertise of people living and working in these services across England, and presents their views of both building and service related issues. It sets out a number of recommendations, focusing on: quality; co-production; staff recruitment and training; policy informed practice; and resourced, appropriate accommodation.
