Housing with support is a term which can cover a wide range of provision, from direct access hostels to residential care homes. While there are existing standards for housing management in these schemes and standards are set for residential care homes, there are no core standards that cover the quality of support across all types of provision. This publication details standards designed to act as a tool to enable service providers to establish, maintain and improve services standards. Aimed primarily at providers of housing with support, but providers of other support services for vulnerable people may also find it useful.

Purpose: To gain insight into client experiences with shelter or community care services for homeless people, homeless youth, and abused women and identify priority improvement areas. Methods: Seven hundred and forty-four clients rated their experiences and 116 clients rated the services’ importance. Results: Clients had most positive experiences with the client–worker relationship and least positive experiences with the results of services. Abused women’s service providers scored higher than homeless adults and youth service providers. Day and night shelters scored lowest, followed by crisis shelters, supported housing, and outreaching teams. The results of care have the highest need for quality improvement for homeless adults and youth. Discussion: Clients’ experiences with shelter and community care services in the Netherlands are generally positive, with a strong client–worker relationship forming the basis of good quality care. Monitoring outcomes and increasing the focus on results are integrated in recent approaches aimed at improving the quality of shelter care. (Publisher abstract)
