Presentation: Building the Right Home
- 1. www.england.nhs.uk Building the right home BRS One Year On 8th November 2016
- 2. www.england.nhs.uk I have a choice about where I live and who I live with 2 People should be offered a choice of housing, including small- scale supported living. Choice about housing should be offered early in any planning processes. Where people live, who they live with, the location, the community and the built environment need to be understood from the individual perspective. Everyone should be offered settled accommodation. The future needs of this group should form part of local housing strategies.
- 3. www.england.nhs.uk • Settled accommodation does not include: • Long-stay healthcare residential facility or hospital • Registered care home • Registered nursing home • Temporary accommodation/hostel • Only 6 units together, unless good design or part of a larger scheme • Housing and support must be separate contracts to support tenancy rights Housing models for delivery 3
- 4. www.england.nhs.uk Supported housing 4 • own flat within a wider development of flats • mixed client group with varying levels of needs with mixed tenures • can be designed to a very bespoke specification • shared space can be minimised • an environment where services can safely manage more high-risk inpatient populations
- 5. www.england.nhs.uk Delivering HOLD (Home Ownership for people with Long-term Disabilities) housing provider buys a property sells a share of the home to the individual individual gets a mortgage covered by Support for Mortgage Interest individual pays rent on the share of the property Bespoke accommodation 5

- 7. www.england.nhs.uk Developing the housing marketplace 7 • Setting the foundations • Shaping the housing offer • Agreeing key terms • Nomination rights and void risk • Rent and service charge • Repairs and equipment
- 8. www.england.nhs.uk Transforming Care Housing Strategy 8 • Commissioners need to have a clear understanding of the types and volume of accommodation required to support people to live in the community. • The accommodation needs of people in the priority cohorts. • The accommodation currently available to the wider population of people with learning disabilities and/or autism • Any gaps in provision, including short-term housing options. • The accommodation needs of future populations in inpatient units, as well as the ‘at risk’ population.
- 9. www.england.nhs.uk Future funding of supported housing 9 • Exemption: The supported housing sector will be fully exempt from the Local Housing Allowance (LHA) cap • Consultation: setting out their preferred option for the future funding for the sector, expected to be implemented at the earliest by April 2019. • New system: be an additional grant to councils to top-up supported housing rents. This additional grant would be ring- fenced.
Editor's Notes
- Government announced that it intended to consult on a new more localised system of funding supported and sheltered housing. The current system pays rents and HB eligible service charges through HB as long as the tenant is on a low income. The proposed system will pay the tenant housing costs up to the LHA cap level. This will be through Housing Benefit or Universal Credit and costs will have to be eligible according to the rules of these benefits. Funding for costs above the LHA cap level will be available locally. Money will be transferred from DWP budgets to local authorities to fund this gap. This money will be ring fenced to pay for supported housing. This is not to scale! The LHA cap will vary from area to area, and the amount of top up will vary from area to area and by scheme type. This is purely illustrative to show the various elements that make up the funding for a scheme.
