Sheltered Housing

Volume 494: debated on Monday 15 June 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what research he has (a) commissioned and (b) evaluated on the operation of (i) full-time and (ii) floating support managers in sheltered housing schemes. (279606)

The Department has not commissioned any research specific to the operation of full-time and floating support managers in sheltered housing schemes.

However, in September 2006 Civis consultants were commissioned to undertake a literature and current practice review of floating support to better understand the effectiveness of floating support services, and the balance needed between floating support and accommodation-based services in order to improve service delivery and choice and control for service users.
