The final evaluation report of Homeshare pilots programme (HSP), which looks at what works to develop a sustainable Homeshare scheme. Homeshare schemes bring together older people who need support to stay in their homes, with young people who provide companionship and low level support in return for an affordable place to live. The evaluation, commissioned by SCIE and conducted by Traverse, identifies which approaches and activities work best, barriers to successful schemes, cost and benefits, and identifies factors that to be used by commissioners to assess bids for Homeshare schemes. It draws on qualitative interviews with pilot leads and staff, local authority stakeholders, referral agencies and with householders and homesharers from the first matches achieved in three HSP sites. It covers experiences of living in a Homeshare, operating a sustainable Homeshare scheme, referral and sustainability, and highlights broader learning for the social care and housing sectors. The results show how that Homeshare can reduce loneliness and improve wellbeing by offering companionship and facilitating inter-generational relationships, as well as addressing the lack of affordable housing options. The report concludes that the programme has been successful in supporting the development of Homeshare sites and provided learning in what works in supporting innovation within delivery of social and housing support.

This tool has been developed to help commissioners and other local planners consider the relative cost and benefit of different models of housing with care, through the best available data and research evidence. This tool is part of the work being delivered by The Commission on the Role of Housing in the Future of Care and Support, which was launched in October 2020 with the aim of developing a vision and roadmap for housing with care and support for older people. The tool enables commissioners to compare the costs and benefits of four key forms of housing with care and support for older adults: residential care home; extra care; sheltered/retirement housing; and Shared Lives. The resource includes: an introduction to the tool and key elements of the model, national estimates on potential costs and benefits nationally of investment in different models, and recommendations on how improvements to the evidence could be made in the future; a user guide with worked examples; and the cost-benefit tool, an Excel model which enables the user to explore a range of different scenarios.
