Reshaping services — a practical example: Moving from a local authority hostel to supported housing

Abstract

How does a local authority re‐provide for 26 residents with learning difficulties living in a hostel run by social services which fails to comply with current standards? This case study describes how three‐quarters of residents were enabled to move on to supported housing and outlines a model that could be adopted by other councils.
