The National Housing Federation has produced a new report Providing an alternative pathway: The value of integrating housing, care and support.
The publication is aimed at local commissioners of health and social care. It tells the real stories of five people who receive integrated care, housing and support.
Each service shows local authorities, housing providers, GPs and acute trusts working together to provide an alternative care pathway which reduces the demand an individual has for other services, as well as improving their quality of life.
In addition, estimates of savings are provided for each case based on services that would be needed if a housing based solution was not available.
