Making it Real for Supported Housing: Call for case studies

Sitra, on behalf of the Think Local Act Personal Partnership (TLAP), is producing a guide to Making it Real for commissioners and providers of Supported Housing. A considerable number of supported housing organisations have already signed up to Making it Real. To support them, and to encourage other organisations to join, the guide will provide help and advice on how Making it Real can work in practice for people receiving supported housing.

There has been a tendency to see personalisation as predominantly about personal budgets. Whilst they are important, they are only one facet of providing person-centred care and support. The guide will demonstrate the potential for supported housing providers and commissioners to improve their approach to personalised services. Connections will also made to the Care Act 2014 - in particular the contribution that supported housing can make to promoting wellbeing, prevention, and the provision of high quality services.

We are keen to include in the guide practical examples of where supported housing organisations have adopted more personalised approaches.
