Provision for Mental Health and Homeless Supported Housing Service

The service will support adults with severe mental health problems who are referred by London Borough of Hounslow, offering 24-hour supported housing with flexible, recovery-focused support. The main role of the service is to provide supported move-on accommodation for individuals within the target group who are ready to take a first step down from a more intensively staffed setting. This will usually be from a community-based service, such as 24-hour supported living, but could also be hospital, provided an individual will be able to manage within the level of support provided by the service. In a smaller number of cases, appropriate individuals may be referred to the service as a step up from the wider supported accommodation pathway, mainstream housing or temporary accommodation. The service will promote recovery, wellbeing and independence and meet the following aims as detailed in the Core Specification: Maximise Independence Improve Mental and Emotional Wellbeing Enhance Quality of Life and Reduce Social Isolation Improve Physical Wellbeing Move on at the right time Prevent placement breakdown
