Mental Health Housing and Support
Purpose of Report: To outline a vision for the development of an
improved mental health housing and support pathway in York.
Including specific proposals that will address a long-standing gap
in provision within the city - for the development of specialist
mental health housing and support for people with multiple and
complex needs.
These proposals have been developed in response to priorities
identified in a number of key strategies including York’s
Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2017-2022, the All Age Mental
Health Strategy for York 2018-2023, and the York Homelessness
Strategy 2018-2023. All three strategies identify the development
of improved mental health housing and support options as a priority
for the city.
The Executive is asked to agree to City of York Council and Vale of
York NHS CCG jointly commissioning new specialist mental health
housing and support provision and to agree to the sale of three
council-owned sites to facilitate the this.

A multi-agency Project Board has overseen the development of these
proposals with senior management representatives from City of York

Two multi-agency working groups were established to research and
develop the proposals for supported housing and Housing First.
