This paper identifies, categorises and briefly describes the housing options available for people with care or support needs who do not live with family. This typology has been developed following a desk-based search to scope all housing and support options for older people, people with learning disabilities and people with mental health problems. The range of options identified fall under the following main categories: mainstream renting, which include social renting; home ownership, which comprises matched home sharing schemes; designated shared housing (shared supported housing); supported placement (Shared Lives); clustered housing (sheltered housing, extra care, retirement villages); residential home (care homes); intentional communities (learning disability intentional communities); and charitable housing (almshouse, gifted housing).
