  9. SCOPE OF PRESENTATION CURRENT CONTEXT IN: • SOCIAL HOUSING • PRIVATE RENTED HOUSING • HOMELESSNESS • SUPPORTING PEOPLE

  10. Has there been a failure to effectively communicate the increasing and chronic shortage of housing?

  11. SOCIAL HOUSING • An increasing gap between supply and demand • Reduction in properties due to Right to Buy; • New developments (builds) insufficient and short term future does not look bright (over a 5% reduction in construction -contributed to 0.7% GDP reduction to 30/6/12); • Increased customer base: e.g. blockages to accessing equity market, high private rents & access to private lets, shared ownership.

  12. SOCIAL HOUSING • The example of Gosport • Over 6,000 Council properties once • 3,000 now and less than 2,000 Housing Association properties (>20% reduction overall, but population has increased) • 15 years ago it took an average of 2 years to get re-housed • Now the average is about 11 years

  13. SOCIAL HOUSING

  14. PRIVATE RENTED • NATIONAL RESULT: • 65% OF HOMELESS PREVENTION IN 2010/11 WAS VIA SECURING PRIVATE RENTED ACCOMMODATION • INCREASING CONCERNS REGARDING THE ACCESSIBILITY OF PRIVATE LETS • Increased competition (equity sector malaise); • Is the rent in advance/bond model enough? • LHA changes and HB caps • Under 35 year rule • Landlord fear of how welfare reforms will impact

  15. GETTING PRIVATE LETS • What do we do in response? • Keep on doing the same old rent in advance/bond? • More landlord incentives: rent guarantee schemes? • Accreditation standards • Shared housing for under 35’s? and/or • Lodgings?..... And move-on lodgings?… settled lodgings? • Income streams for staffing needs? • DWP announcement overdue on homeless accommodation subsidy

  16. HOMELESSNESS • INCREASING HOMELESSNESS IN 2011/12 • Remember this is from a low base -14% increase in acceptances. 73% increase in B&B use in SE England • Is the increase due to diminishing prevention results or simply due to more people needing help? • Thoughts on the future?

  17. Where are we now? • 50,290 acceptances during 2011/12. This is an increase of 14% from 44,160 in 2010/11 • 50,430 households were in temporary accommodation on 31 March 2012, 5% more than at the same date last year. • 3,960 (8% of households) were in B&B. This is an increase 44% compared to the same date last year. • 45,000 repossessions forecast for 2012 (CML) which would represent (a 24% increase on 2011) • 36,605 landlord possession claims issued Jan to Mar 2012 (MOJ), 3% higher than in the fourth quarter of 2011

  18. HISTORICAL SHIFTS IN ACCOMMODATION COSTS • Inevitably, reduction in Council housing since the 1970’s means less low cost housing; • The increase in housing association movement came with higher rents; • In the private sector: the Assured/shorthold regime had one key aim of increasing rent levels; • Equity market assessed as 30% over-valued (IMF) • It is reasonable to conclude that low cost accommodation options have reduced very markedly in an era of increasing divergence in wealth -there is more of the one cost fits all when personal incomes have gone the other way(???).

  19. SUPPORTED HOUSING • SUPPORTING PEOPLE BUDGET NOT RAVAGED IN HAMPSHIRE. • CUTS IN THE “EXCLUDED CLUSTER” REDUCED TO 10% IN HAMPSHIRE. • Relatively speaking these two decisions are a major achievement. • In Gosport around 50% of our large statutory homeless hostel base is silted up with customers assessed as requiring supported move-on

  20. Delivering Personalised Housing Support – a practical guide Nicola Youern CEO, YOU

  21. Finding out about the service • Have you got a marketing strategy? • Are you easy to contact? • What do current and potential clients think about your response, and the information you gave them? • How do you demonstrate to potential • clients that the services you offer give • them choice and control?

  22. How will this service help me achieve my outcomes? • Do you provide accessible and personalised information? • How do you plan your first meeting with potential clients? • How can this service support clients to achieve outcomes? • How do you recognise skills and potential of clients? • What information could you share with clients about staff skills and interests? • How do you support clients to establish &maintain support networks and social links? • Do clients get a personalised offer, giving real choice and control in key aspects of their support

  23. Designing support that’s personal to me • How do you work with clients to create their own support plan and think beyond the service you directly provide? • Have you agreed with each client how you will work together and how progress will be recorded? • Ask each client that uses your service ‘Who • makes the decisions about your care • and support?’

  24. Getting on with my life • How do you know that clients have maximum choice and control? • Are clients supported to live the life they want and manage any risks? • Are people important to the client involved in their life? • Is the client linked into their community in a way that is valuable to them? • Is the approach you and the client agreed for recording progress working? • Has the client an opportunity to be involved in all aspects of service delivery and development?

  25. Reflecting on what I’ve achieve and still need to do • Has the client decided who they want involved in reviewing their support? • What does the client feel is important for their future? • What does the client say is going well and needs to continue? • Is the client still hoping for the same things in the future? • Does the client believe the support is making a difference? • What does the client say isn’t going well and needs to change? • Is the client happy with the way they are supported? • Who supports the client through the review process? • Is the client staying safe and well? • Have the risks the client faces changed? • Does the client feel they have more control? • Who does the client say makes the decisions in their life?
