Housing services for people with mental health problems in
EnglandMarya SaidiLondon School of Economics
Some background information

3
Background information In 1990, the National
Health Service and Community Care Act
In 1997, the Department of the Environment and Department of Health publish the ‘Housing and Community Care: Establishing a Strategic Framework’
In 1999, the National Service Framework
In 2003, the Supporting People Programme
4
Prevalence of MHPs 1 in 4 British adults experience at
least 1 mental health problem (MHP) in any 1 year (ONS, 2001)
Women more likely to be treated for a MHP than men (ONS, 2003).
Mixed anxiety and depression most common MHP in Britain (ONS, 2000)
5
Prevalence of MHPs in BME groups
Higher rates of MHPs (NIMHE, 2003)
High numbers in inpatient wards (Healthcare Commission, 2006)
Higher rates of involuntary admissions (Healthcare Commission, 2006)
Less likely to be offered psychotherapy (McKenzie et al., 2001)
6
Stigma and discrimination
1 in 4 unemployed has a MHP (ONS, 2001) 75% of people with MHPs are unemployed (Social
Exclusion Unit, 2004) Less than 4 in 10 employers would recruit someone with
MHPs (Manning & White, 1995) Concentrated in deprived areas (Sainsbury Centre for
Mental Health 1998) Stigma & discrimination from housing providers (ONS,
2000) BME groups : poor experience of MH services & have difficulty with access to community MH services (Raleigh et al., 2007)
Social exclusion within housing services?
7
Housing and mental health
More likely to rent home from LA or HA; less likely to own home (MIND, 2008).
Effect of poor housing on MH (Fakhoury et al., 2002)
Housing most important factor to achieving independence (Audit Commission, 1998)
Housing and mental health (2)
Deinstitutionalisation No exact figures on number of
people with MHPs in housing services
Most people with MHPs live in community & mainstream housing (Social Exclusion Unit, 2004)
Lack of information on housing situation, problems & preferences of people with MHPs (Knapp et al., 2007)

Research questions What are the factors and policies that contribute
to the movement of individuals with mental health problems in and out of housing services and how do these individuals experience those movements?
Well-being and satisfaction: how do tenants with mental health problems feel about their housing experience?
How apparent are social exclusion and discrimination in the world of specialist housing services, in terms of accommodation, employment etc?
Structural social capital and social networks: are tenants fully entrenched in the social sphere and the community? What effect does that have on their well-being and satisfaction?
Do tenants from BME backgrounds have different experiences with regard to moving in and out of, as well living in, housing services?
11
Method 9 areas in England Up to 8 specialist housing services
for mental health problems in each area
Manager & up to 4 tenants in each service to be interviewed
Visited 40 services On average, about 2.2 service users
per SHS were interviewed
Describing the sample
12
Description of the tenant sample
86 service users 57 of them male Most of them were
suffering from schizophrenia (64.5%)
Mean age: 51.7 (SD=15.22)
Majority were White British (N=71)
Most tenants described health as ‘very good’
“I used to work at a charity shop with normal people but I'm not sure if it's for me yet. I still don’t feel ready and I’m not confident enough to do it yet. But I'm building up the confidence now. I still feel a lot of stigma from people.” Jenny, Supported Housing, Very rural area
Description of tenant sample (2)
60 people in care homes – 18 in supported housing, 4 in shared lives and 4 in independent living
Most living in small or medium-sized homes
Mostly concentrated in rural areas
Mostly privately owned/run14
How do people in SHSs spend their
time?
15
Tenant activities 21 people were in some
kind of employment; 1 in FT employment
Most time spent watching television
Minimal physical activity
Low to moderate involvement in community activities: religious (N=21) & hobby or interest group (N=36)
Poor relationships with family and friends
“In this place you have to do
things to entertain yourself. I really wish there were more things to do.”
Kate, Care Home, Large Urban area “If there wasn't the café, I'd be really bored. I like it there, they call me by my name, everyone knows me.”
Helen, Care Home, Large Urban area“I guess they are marginally involved in the community. It all depends on peoples' personalities. They do have acquaintances in the community, but not people they can call friends. They lack social skills, like for example the ability to empathise, to be able to maintain relationships.”
Tim, Manager, Care home, Part rural area
Are people in SHSs
discriminated against?
17
DiscriminationStill pervasive in the world of mental health and housing – more felt by managers“The media plays a big role in discrimination and the stigmatisation of people with mental health problems. They are very badly portrayed. They’re depicted as murderers. There’s a complete lack of awareness of what mental health really is.” Shelly, Manager, Care home, Part rural area “There’s still a lot of ignorance in society regarding people with mental health problems. People still think that they’re dangerous. We really need to educate and train people. Some staff even discriminates against them!” Karl, Manager, Care home, Major urban area

Moving in and out of SHSs
25
Tenant movements Most had wanted to
come to this SHS Referrals most
often made through social worker or hospital
LOS varies with each tenant/service
“I was in a care home before with *name of charity*. And I was
homeless before that. I stayed there for 15months then moved here. Moving here was a good thing and it was quick and easy. At the end of the day, I’m happy because now I have a roof over my head.”Roberta, Care Home resident, Major Urban
area“I suppose they all want to live in a flat on their own, and they aspire to have one but it's different to what they really want. They need company. They might get caught up in a cycle of their accommodation breaking down because of social isolation, they end up back in hospital and eventually lose the flat.”
Olivia, Care home manager, Major Urban area
Tenant movements (2) Most managers felt they pushed
clients towards independence Main reason to leave: want less
support More than half the people
interviewed wanted to move somewhere else after this
Care home residents: 29 did not want to leave
Move on to independent flat or supported housing service
Some conclusions…
28
Future directions Policy implications Cost of non-accommodation services Personalisation Combining the two datasets? Submitting?!
29
Conclusions Tenants generally did not have the
desire; and managers acknowledged their lack of concern with employment
Lack of public mental health awareness
Poor relationships and community involvement
Social networks had a significant effect on different satisfaction ratings
