Putting it all together – Care and Support Specialised Housing Fund (CASSH)
The context(current trends – demand/supply)
Spectrum of housing – ‘older’ people
Older people live in a wide variety of housing types and tenures reflecting a wide spectrum of support needs. Only some are classified by HCA as OP housing
Classified by HCA as ‘OP housing’ for statistics purposes

Spectrum of housing types for disabled adults
The housing needs of disabled groups including those with mental health problems can be met in a variety of settings but the prime focus of supported housing is to enable ‘independent living’

Facts and Figures
8,578 people with a learning disability (LD) were referred to LA for housing support in 2011, joining 10,000 others on the waiting list.
29,000 adults with a LD live with parents aged 70+, whilst only 25% of these have LA planned alternative housing.
Older people tend not to move and currently represent 57% of household under-occupation
Older social tenants are not subject to “spare room subsidy”. It is estimated that by 2026 there will be over 10 million empty bedrooms in the homes of the retired.
Only 10% of specialist housing shall have on-site care provided,
BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON DEMAND AND SUPPLY The majority of the housing market is currently focused where the least growth shall be.
To 2029 the population aged 75+ is projected to rise by 47% in urban areas and by 90% in rural areas.
The bulk of extra households are in the age groups 60+, with limited change between 20 and 60 year olds.
New supply of OP housing
OP build rates are lower now than in the 1980s by a factor of 3 or 4. Supply of older persons housing for sale at its lowest for 30+ years – despite 75% of older people owning their own home.

NAHP 2008-11 AHP 2011-15
TRENDS IN INVESTMENT FOR VULNERABLE AND OLDER PEOPLE OP/VP delivery figures from AHP have declined from the height of NAHP delivery, but only in line with overall mainstream delivery. Total output from AHP for OP will be 59% below NAHP. Output for VP housing swill be 80% below NAHP. CASSH however will improve these figures to some degree.

Demand vs Supply for specialist supported housing
High level estimates might suggest a supply gap of up to 45k units a year of specialist housing suitable for people with varied support needs.
Supply / demand gap20k-45k units pa
High level estimates might suggest that even with CASSH funding continuing there is a supply gap of 20k to 45k units a year of housing catering for people with support needs.
Some demand may catered for through adaptation and floating support, churn in existing units, or other alternatives
13
Some existing VP/OP stock outdated and mismatched with demand – Demolition of unsuitable/un-lettable (eg design, location, access to care/family)
• c20% of SH non-self contained or shared, 60%+ one-bed• HCA part-funded refurbishment of 1,000+ units of SH through NAHP
New stock and housing typologies also face challenges– Reductions in revenue funding– Welfare reform impact on some schemes [tbc]– Move away from residential care toward floating support and/or extra care – Sustainability of some models questioned (eg retirement villages)
Suitability of existing stock

“As we know, most people want to be independent in their own homes and as the population ages, more and more of us will need housing that supports us to do that. ..…
These will be tailored to people’s needs and will help them to remain active as long as possible without the need of going into a care home…..”
Norman Lamb, Minister for Care Services.
