Issue details
Developing a pathway for Mental Health housing and support in York, with fit for purpose accommodation.
Purpose of Report: To advise Members of a significant multi-agency
project that is gearing up to improve the range of Mental Health
housing and support available in the city, a priority area
highlighted within both the Health &Wellbeing and Mental Health
strategies.
A workshop was held in Sept 2017 attended by over 70 delegates from
health, social care, community safety, and the voluntary and
community sector and the feedback received has helped focus the
project team’s next steps.
The report will provide the background and case for change, and
will outline three key areas for development where further work
needs to be done. It will forewarn that some whole system
investment, is likely to be required or, at the very least, a
redistribution of resources across the ‘whole system’,
to deliver the required pathway and will recommend that the
Executive accept a further, more detailed report in early summer
2018.
Please note – this will be a joint report, owned by City of York Council, Tees, Esk & Wear Valley NHS Foundation Trust, and the Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group. The same report (or a very similar version) will also be taken to the Health & Wellbeing Board on 24 Jan 2018, and the Mental Health Partnership (date tbc).
Members are asked to note the background and case for change for this project, and to agree to receive a further report in the early summer which will include a detailed, costed options appraisal of the main areas for development to emerge from the multi-agency workshop event held on 29 September 2017.
Reason for withdrawal: To allow for further discussion between all organisations and stakeholders. A report will now follow in early summer 2018.

Consultation process
Project Group overseeing the work with senior
management representatives from City of York Council, Tees, Esk
& Wear Valley NHS Foundation Trust, the Vale of York Clinical
Commissioning Group, and York Housing Association.
A Mental Health Housing & Support workshop event was held at
the Priory Street Centre on 29 Sep 2017 and was attended by over 70
delegates from health, social care, community safety, and the
voluntary and community sector and the feedback received has helped
focus the project team’s next steps.
23 of the delegates that attended the workshop – from a range
of organisations - have volunteered to be part of a wider working
group that will help shape, and input to, the detailed work
required to move this agenda forward.
Work is also underway to ensure that service users and carers are
involved and, able to influence, the work moving forward.
