This document discusses Staffordshire County Council's efforts to increase extra care housing. It began with 10 open extra care schemes in 2010 and has increased that number to 14 open schemes and 5 more under construction by 2013 through various procurement methods. The county council then partnered with SCAPE and Wilmott Dixon to bid for funding from the Care and Support Specialised Housing Fund, but missed out on funding. It has now identified 10 priority areas for extra care housing, set up frameworks with registered providers, and is ready to bid for new HCA funding anticipated in 2015. The document outlines the SCAPE framework process and how the partnership provides value through market knowledge, advice on viability, and identifying additional sites.
