This year’s Research in Practice for Adults (RiPfA) annual Partnership Conference will examine social care, housing and homelessness. It will explore National policy context; Legislation – recent changes and capacity; Housing and social care interfaces – working together effectively; Homelessness and complexity; and Housing supply – its role in maintaining independence for longer and relieving pressure across other areas of the system. The day will hear from key speakers as well as offering interactive opportunities for discussion among delegates.

6. Why is housing
important to
good social
care?

7. Cross Government Working
& the Adult Social Care Green
Paper

8. Loneliness
Studies have shown that loneliness leads
to an increased likelihood of developing
certain health conditions. Specifically,
socially isolated people are:
• 3.4 times more likely to suffer
depression
• 1.9 times more likely to develop
dementia in the following 15 years
• 2 to 3 times more likely to be physically
inactive, which may result in a 7%
increased likelihood of developing
diabetes, an 8% increased likelihood of
suffering a stroke and a 14% likelihood
of developing coronary heart disease

9. Rough sleeping and the
role of Social Care
Supporting better outcomes through:
- Mental health services and addiction services
- Integrated working with housing, health care, social care and
public health
The Rough Sleeping Strategy
- Cross Government strategy was published in August 2018-
with a goal of halving rough sleeping by 2022 and it entirely
by 2027
- The strategy goes further than any other government has
done before
Continuity of Care
- Challenges in maintaining continuity for homeless people
- Effective hospital discharge models can support the
homeless, ensuring support is in place
- NIHR funded research is due to be published in 2019- it has
reviewed the effectiveness of different models of provision of
hospital discharge & primary care services for rough sleepers
- DHSC will be supporting the dissemination of this research

10. DHSC strategy to
support a rough
sleeping strategy
- Audit of local services
- Testing models of community-
based provision
- Health and wellbeing boards
- End of life care
- Safeguarding
- NHS long term plan
- Homelessness Reduction Act –
duty to refer

11. Social Care
Professional
Values
- Respect, dignity and valuing all
people
- Protecting human rights
- Prompting social justice and
reducing inequality
- Kindness, empathy and
compassion
- Integrity
- Maintaining boundaries

12. Thank you

What would you like to ask Lyn?

14. Law – recent changes in housing and
social care law and how they
interact with each other
Siân Davies
Barrister, 39 Essex Chambers

15. Recent changes in housing and
social care law
Siân Davies
Barrister, 39 Essex Chambers
Research in practice for Adults

16. Key legislation
• Housing Act 1996
• Homelessness Reduction Act 2017
• Care Act 2014
• Mental Capacity Act 2005
• Children and Families Act 2014
• Children Act 1989

17. Overview
Housing Act 1996
• Part 6: allocations. LA required to have allocation
scheme for priority between applicants
• Part 7: homelessness & Code of Guidance
Homeless + priority need + local connection + not
intentionally homeless
PN is the area of overlap with social care “vulnerability”
s.189(1)(c) Hotak v LB Southwark [2015] UKSC 30

18. Care Act 2014
• Wellbeing principles - duty to “have regard” s.1
• Co-operation duties s.6 and 7 “relevant partner”
• May not provide anything a LHA is required to provide:
s.23
• Must assess (s.9)
• Must meet assessed eligible needs (s.19)

19. Homelessness Reduction Act 2017
• Advice and assistance duty (s.2)
• New duties in case of threatened homelessness (new
s.195 HA 1996)
• New s.213B HA 1996 – duty upon specified authority to
notify local housing authority (with agreement)

20. Duty on social services to refer to
housing HRA 2017
• In force 1st October 2018
• Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 and revised Code of
Guidance
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/homelessness-code-of-
guidance-for-local-authorities/overview-of-the-
homelessness-legislation

21. Mental Capacity Act 2005
• Presumption of capacity
• Unwise decision does not equal lack of capacity
• Support and assistance to make decision
• Best interests decision making framework if lacking
capacity
• Best interests requires involvement of P and taking
account of wishes and feelings

22. Children and Families Act 2014
• EHCP up to age 25 so will include adults
• E H C Plan
• Co-operation duties s.28
• Referral duty s.23

23. Children Act 1989
• Applies to adults - s.17 (support for families) and s.23C
(support for care leavers formerly looked after)
• S.17 requires a “child in need” assessment focusing on
what the child needs and what its family can and cannot
provide
• Leaving care provisions require pathway plan - what?
Who? When? How?

24. Co-operation

25. Why?
• Multi- agency involvement secures better outcomes
• Avoids “from pillar to post” see R(AM) v LB Havering
[2015] EWHC 1004 (Admin) and service users falling
through the net
• Budget pooling = better use of scarce resources
• Holistic assessment of circumstances rather than focus
on single issue
• In context of children “TAC” approach

26. When co-operation/ consultation goes
wrong…
• R(AM) v Havering: failure of communication between
housing and children’s services and between two LA
children’s services
• R(Juttla) v Hertfordshire Valley CCG: CCG decision to
cease funding respite for disabled children, failure to
consult LA which would assume responsibility

27. More examples of what can go wrong…
• R. (GS) v LB Camden [2016] EWHC 1762 (Admin):
assessment of no eligible needs under Care Act 2014
because only need was for housing (upheld), but failure
to consider use of Localism Act 2011 power to
accommodate, elevated to duty because of breach of
art.3 ECHR
• R. (KI) v Brent LBC [2018] EWHC 1068 (Admin); failure
of co-operation between leaving care services and
housing, each stating the other responsible for
accommodation needs unmet

28. Care leavers
• Leaving care support until age 21, statutory presumption
of “staying put” in foster placement
• Statutory guidance states that where c+s needs, this
should become a “shared lives” placement therefore
“specified accommodation” for CA 2014 purposes
• Children’s services report lack of co-operation from ASC
re pathway planning, assessment and shared lives
assessment / approval

29. Who should be talking to who?
• Care Act 2014 sections 6 & 7: “relevant partners” duty to
co-operate includes housing associations, NHS bodies,
emergency services
• Combined assessments and joint assessments
(statutory guidance/ Assessment Regs) allow more than
one person to be assessed / more than one body to
assess

30. Who does the talking? (cont’d)
• NHS: section 82 NHS Act 2006
• Housing referral to SS: s.213 HA 1996
• SS referral to housing where eligibility for housing: HA
1996 s.213B
• Children and Families Act 2014: EHCP process intended
to bring together health, education and social care see
specific duties s.23 and 28

31. Who provides accommodation: Social
care or housing?

32. P is homeless and has eligible care needs: he
needs help washing, dressing and with
cooking and cleaning.
He is told by housing that he should present to
social services. He is told be social services
that as he is homeless, he should present to
housing. Meanwhile, he is sofa surfing and his
needs are not being met…
Should his accommodation need be the
responsibility of housing or social
services?

33. Housing or social care?
• Part 7 HA 1996 section 189(1)(c): a person has PN if he
is “vulnerable as a result of old age, mental illness or
handicap or physical disability or other special reason, or
with whom such a person resides or might reasonably be
expected to reside”
• Overlap with “eligible needs” under CA 2014: unable to
meet two or more specified criteria without significant
difficulty
• If P lacks mental capacity to decide where to live, or to
enter into a tenancy…?

34. Capacity to be a tenant/ applicant for
social housing
WB v W District Council [2018] EWCA Civ 928
CA upheld the previous position (pre-HRA 1998): a
person lacking capacity to enter into a tenancy cannot be
an “applicant” for social housing under Part 6/7 Housing
Act 1996

35. Capacity and tenancy
• A MCA appointed Deputy cannot make the application
on P’s behalf unless the terms of Deputyship specifically
authorise this
• P who lacks capacity in this area is the responsibility of
social care, not housing, as regards accommodation
needs

36. Good practice guide
• What other agencies are involved? Consult them
• What other agencies should be involved?
Consult them
• Consider combined/ joint assessments
• Resolve any issues of capacity to make relevant
decisions at the assessment stage
• Use co-operation duties if other bodies resist
• If another body/ service is responsible, managed
handover…avoid “dumping”

Homelessness Research Programme
and the Rebuilding Lives Study

43. Presentation
 Homelessness Research Programme, and the
HEARTH study
 The Rebuilding Lives study:
a. Outcomes after five years for formerly
homeless people who were resettled
b. The importance of tenancy support
services and the challenges in providing
this help

44. Disclaimer
The views expressed in this presentation are those
of the authors, and not necessarily those of the
NIHR, the NIHR School for Social Care Research,
the Department of Health and Social Care, or the
NHS.r

45. Homelessness Research Programme

46. Aims of Homelessness Research
Programme (HRP)
 To contribute to the understanding of the causes
of homelessness, and the circumstances and
needs of homeless and formerly homeless
people
 To contribute to policy and service development
regarding the prevention of homelessness, and
the improvement of services for homeless and
formerly homeless people

47. Current / recent HRP studies
 Delivering primary health care to homeless people:
an evaluation of the integration, effectiveness and
costs of different models (HEARTH study)
 Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of ‘usual care’
versus ‘specialist integrated care’: a comparative
study of hospital discharge arrangements for
homeless people in England
 Memory problems among older homeless people in
hostels
Studies funded by National Institute for Health Research
(NIHR) Health Services & Delivery Research Programme.

48. HEARTH Study

49. Aims of HEARTH Study
 Identify extent and types of specialist primary health
care services in England for homeless people
 Examine integration of primary health care services
with other services, and effectiveness of different
models in meeting health needs of homeless people
 Evaluate over time the impact of different models on
service users’ health and well-being, and their
engagement with services
 Examine resource implications & costs of delivering
services for the different models

50. Mapping of specialist primary health
care services for homeless people
 Specialist primary health care services (SPHCS)
work primarily with single homeless people, or serve
general population but provide enhanced / targeted
services for homeless people
 Identified 123 SPHCS in England. Various models,
e.g. specialist health centres, mobile health teams,
GP practices with homeless services, volunteer
health care services
 SPHCS mainly located in urban areas

51. Evaluation underway of four models
Health centres specifically
for homeless people
Mobile health teams that
hold clinics in hostels and
day centres for homeless
people
GP practices with special /
targeted services for
homeless people
Generic GP practices that
provide ‘usual care’ to local
population, including
homeless people

52. Rebuilding Lives Study

53. Aims of Rebuilding Lives (RL)
 To examine the longer-term outcomes for
formerly homeless people who were resettled
 To identify the characteristics of those who
received or needed longer-term support
 To explore the roles of different practitioners
in providing this support
Study funded by NIHR School for Social Care Research.
Collaborating homelessness organisations: Centrepoint;
Framework; St Anne’s Community Services; St Mungo’s;
Thames Reach.

54. Study design
 Longitudinal study built on FOR-HOME
study (which followed up 400 formerly homeless
people for 18 months after being rehoused)
 RL sample: 297 participants who were contacted
and housed at 18 months
 Interviews with participants FIVE YEARS post-
resettlement
 Interviews with 46 workers who provided
tenancy support services to participants

55. Housing conditions and coping
After five years:
 Many were settled: three-quarters had created a
‘home’ and looking after accommodation
 One-quarter struggling to cope – dirty
living conditions or hoarding
 35% in housing in serious disrepair (dampness,
mould, faulty heating, electrical wiring
problems). Similar across all tenures

56. Homeless during the five years
 16% homeless at some time in 5 years
 Young people and those with long histories of
homelessness (10+ years) more likely to have
become homeless again
 People who were rehoused in private rented
sector (PRS) had poorer housing outcomes –
36% became homeless again
 Problems in PRS: high rents; ending of fixed
term tenancy agreements; conflicts with
landlords / other tenants

58. Housing situation at 60 months by
housing tenure when first resettled

59. Income and finances
At five years:
 Most on low incomes / struggling financially
 Financial problems exacerbated by:
a. Social security benefits suspended / stopped
b. Casual / ‘zero-hours’ contract employment
 Increase over time in debts, esp. among
young people

61. Tenancy support services

62. People receiving support
 32% in receipt of support at 60 months; 40%
in last 12 months
 People receiving support more likely to
have health / substance misuse problems
and long histories of homelessness
 Less likely to have support: young people,
those in PRS, and those outside London

64. Workers providing this help
 Tenancy support / housing support workers
 Homelessness sector staff
 Housing wardens / housing officers
 Drugs workers
 Advice / advocacy workers
 Mental health workers
 Social workers / home care workers (mainly for
those aged 60+)
 Others, e.g. probation officers

65. Support workers’ roles and
perspectives

66. Main roles of support workers
 Assisting people with finances – sorting out
social security benefit changes or stoppages.
Marked increase in this work over last 5 years
 Assisting with accommodation problems – poor
conditions, disrepair, disputes with landlords /
neighbours
 Helping to find alternative housing when PRS
tenancy agreement ends. Challenging as few
suitable housing options

67. Other challenges
 Support is often time limited – insufficient
to resolve a person’s problems, esp. financial
difficulties
 Increase in workload and the need for urgent
responses, especially for financial crises
 Some people difficult to engage in support –
complex lifestyles, reluctant to admit problems,
isolated. Some only engage when in crisis and
their tenancy at risk

68. Time limited support

69. Increased workload and response times
“You may have a client that you used to see once a
month, but they suddenly go through a crisis where they
missed an appointment at a Job centre so their benefits
have stopped. And that situation may involve you seeing
them multiple times a week to contact their Job centre, to
write an appeal letter, to apply for a crisis grant, to
support them to go to the food bank, to go to the housing
benefits department, to submit a nil income letter, like
there’s so many things that can be involved…”

70. Strategies to provide support

71. Conclusions

72. The need for tenancy support
 Resettlement for homeless people works, but
many are vulnerable when rehoused and require
tenancy support
 Some people require long-term support to
manage a tenancy; others require intermittent or
short-term support at times of difficulties
 Support services are currently targeting many
with complex needs. Help is also needed for
young people and those who have little
experience of independent living

75. Housing options to meet social care
need – an overview and critique

@HousingLIN
Citizen or consumer? Housing options
to meet social care need – an overview
and critique

77. Housing Learning and
Improvement Network
• Sophisticated network bringing together
housing, health and social care professionals in
England and Wales to exemplify innovative
housing solutions for older and disabled people
• Recognised by government and the housing
with care sector as a leading ‘knowledge hub’
on specialist housing
• Online and regional networked activities (next
SW Housing LIN event – planned for May
2019)
• We connect people, ideas and resources to
inspire, inform and improve the range of
housing choices that enable older and disabled
people live independently

78. An ‘inward orientated home’
“From the viewpoint of many older
persons, the housing market for them is
lacking in the physical environment but
also in the emotional side of contact with
the wider community. The segregation
of one section of the community in an
‘inward orientated home’ just because of
age is a failed proposal and the ‘baby
boomers’ are looking for more
enlightened prospects for their later
lives.”
Ian Hooper, Housing LIN viewpoint

79. Getting the message across
“The focus for many has purely
been on bricks and mortar. If we’re
going to create truly aspirational
communities for seniors it needs to
move beyond design and be about
connection and relationships”
Sara McKee, Housing LIN Viewpoint
“The shortage of purpose-built housing for older people is ‘bed-
blocking’ the housing market.”
John Pankhurst, Inside Housing

80. What do we know about the national
trends?
• Much of our purpose-built stock
for older people predates 21stC
• Much of our mainstream housing
was built in the 20thC
• An increasing older population
with different needs & aspirations
• Significant numbers of older
people living alone (Onesis)
• Increasing numbers of people
living with limiting long term illness
• Increasing number of people living with dementia
• Significant numbers of older people provide unpaid care

81. Caring times?
• Personalisation: Long awaited Adult Social Care Green Paper
• Prevention: Prevention Green Paper
• Integration: NHS 10 Year Plan
• Partnership: Improved Better Care Fund
• Investment: Care and Support Specialised Housing Fund
• Shared vision: Improving Health and
Care through the Home – MoU
• But… Brexit

82. Deal or No Deal? Sector is woefully
unprepared
• Of those who worked for care and support organisations, only 1/3
said that their organisation had undertaken any Brexit planning
and/or risk assessments around staffing issues (recruitment and
retention)
• Of those working in the area of social housing, only 14% said that
their organisation had undertaken any Brexit planning and/or risk
assessments around the demand for housing with care/supported
housing
• Only 25% said that their organisation undertaken any Brexit
planning and/or risk assessments around the impact on customers.
There is concern that staffing issues may lead to instability and force
extra care developers to “move into more stable and profitable
sectors”. Other concerns raised include delivery of low-level support
services, delayed response to tenant issues and availability of
medicines

83. CLG Select Committee on Housing for
Older People; key recommendations
• The existing FirstStop Advice Service should be re-funded
by the Government
• Recognise the link between homes and health and
social care in the forthcoming social care green paper
• Additional funding for Home Improvement Agencies
• A range of measures to help older people overcome
the barriers to moving home
• Ensuring that national and local planning policy encourages the
building of more of all types of housing
for older people
• Specialist housing, and particularly extra care housing,
can promote the health and wellbeing of older people
and their carers, leading to savings in spending on
health and social care
• Recognising the HAPPI design principles, build all new homes to
accessible and adaptable standards

84. Getting our homes and communities
right
‘Residential Revolution’ (LGA, 2017) estimate
shortfall of 400,000 units of housing for older
people by 2030. Encourage councils:
• Having a clear vision: promoting awareness
and changing attitudes to later life
• Planning for an ageing population
• Delivering and enabling new housing for
older people across the public and private
sectors
• Promoting an integrated approach to
housing, care and health
• Sustaining older people in mainstream
housing

85. Impact of housing on NHS and social
care costs and outcomes: the evidence
Derby City Council, Healthy Housing Hub
• Housing related advice and support
• Prescribed housing support
• Healthy housing assistance
• Partnership links across health, housing,
social care and the voluntary sector
• Evaluation - positive outcomes / efficiencies

86. Home from Hospital – Interactive Map
• Developed jointly by Foundations UK
and Housing LIN
• Highlights where housing
organisations are supporting hospital
pathways in range of practical ways
• Projects from across England are
profiled, set alongside ‘DToC’ (Delayed Transfer of Care) data
• Aim: to inspire, support and inform local conversations
• Quarterly updates planned to capture new activity
• In future, include examples from Wales
• Visit https://www.housinglin.org.uk/home-from-hospital/

87. What does contemporary housing
for older people look like?
• Matching different housing options to
identified need in particular locations/
communities – rural v urban
• Based on strong partnerships - signalling
clearly to the market and providers what
types of later life housing options will be
required, including retirement housing
• New care and support delivery models,
including intermediate care
• Ensuring there is a balance and mix of
housing options (dwelling and tenure)
developed and available to meet future need
• Growth of downsizer, upsizer, or rightsizer
housing? But also ‘staying put’ options

88. Is our system safeguarding rights
or promoting choice?
Revenue
• Longer term implications of housing benefit/LHA reform
• Commissioned/self-funded housing & care
• Viability/VFM inc size and scale
Quality
• Design/location of accommodation
• HAPPI principles ‘reduce loneliness/isolation’
Financial Capital:
• New stock: business case for extra care housing?
• Existing stock: decommission, remodel/upgrade, refurbish
Social Capital
• A better quality of life for residents
• Improved health and wellbeing/compress dependency
• Reduce loneliness/isolation
• Community building

89. Dean Hawke’s Circadian House
• Longing and belonging –
the psychology of ageing
• Combatting loneliness and
isolation – social care of
ageing, friendships and family
• Home, place & community –
the environment for ageing
• Live in balance with nature –
follow the daily and seasonal
cycles of the outdoors
• Adaptability – adapt to changing
conditions ie ‘care ready’
• Sensibility – protection from
and control of environment ie
passive solar gain

90. Improving later life
Building personal resilience
Detachment from social participation in older age
can have negative impacts on health & wellbeing,
including depression, physical and cognitive
decline, and increased mortality
Building community resources to
resilience
Social mobilisation – providing ways and means to
build, enable and support older people’s
connections to social networks in the community
and to foster their mutual aid
Co-creating lifelong neighbourhoods
Older people are both the beneficiaries of and
contributors to all age-friendly activities that span
the generations

91. CollaborAGE – “my 6 I’s”
• Involvement: Ease of maintaining existing social networks and
opportunities for wider social interaction including multi-generational contact
• Independence: Privacy when wanted by having own front door and with
security of tenure
• Inclusion: Living in a community which will be “fun” and would foster self-
reliance, self-control and determination, interdependence and co-operation.
These being factors that contribute directly to continued independent living,
successful ageing and enhancement of a longer life
• Integrated: With health professionals embedded within but not dominating
the scheme, would ensure that residents, when hospitalised - not ‘bed-
block’ at time of discharge
• Inviting: Having open welcoming public areas and quality apartments
provide a retirement complex to which children and grandchildren will be
happy to visit and create ‘feel good’ memories for all, plus
• Inequalities: Effective housing interventions eg delivering better health &
wellbeing outcomes, improving housing conditions, tackling fuel poverty etc

92. Some principles of age-friendly HAPPI
design
• Easy access to outdoor space
• Homely and practical internal environment
• Therapeutically and psychologically
informed environment
• Shared activity space to tackle isolation
• Located close to community and health
facilities, ‘hub and spoke’
• Flexible to enable varying level of personal
care and support
• Engagement and partnerships with NHS
providers, commissioners and partners
• Link to Health & Wellbeing

93. Getting the design quality right
• Doing it for ourselves/co-design
a volunteer ethos- desire and
necessity for next generation of older
people; resident-led, self-care,
community-led or mutual ownership,
co-housing, ‘virtual’ villages, age-
friendly communities
• ‘Care ready’ housing
housing more closely integrated
housing, care and support
commissioned locally to reduce
dependency, address long term
conditions such as dementia

94. Some final thoughts…
• Leadership: What is really important to
your strategic leadership team and
partners in setting out your priorities ?
• Ambition: How can we ensure ‘visioning’
housing and care so it is best redesigned
meet local needs and services?
• Insight & intelligence: Where is there
robust evidence base to inform decision-
making locally?
• Integration matters: What is the
connection to wider integration and
transformation agenda with local
economy?
• Improved outcomes: What
measurements do you have in place to
measure resilience?
• Coproduction: what examples are there
of effective co-designing and coproducing
with residents?

95. So… opportunity or challenge?
• Is there the case for better housing with care
for maximising independence for people with
dementia or is the future more residential care
and home based support?
• What strategies and policies are in place to
engage, involve and listen to the housing with
care needs of older people and their carers,
and the wider community?
• Join the Housing LIN to stay connected
with latest ideas
