Replicability

2023-11-02 14:20:17 UTC

You’re delivering on a city wide footprint. How replicable do you think your approach is for other areas?

Ordinary Residence

2023-11-02 14:23:04 UTC

Do you have any struggles with neighbouring councils in determining where a homeless patient has Ordinary Residence, and do you have any policies in place that enables a council to agree to assume responsibility for a homeless patient to enable a fast discharge, whilst OR is being determined?

Which part of the BCF was used to fund the 40 beds? And which funding source funded the staffing positions?

2023-11-02 14:34:30 UTC

How could this work where there are multiple housing providers across the city?

Flow

2023-11-02 14:34:50 UTC

If it takes 12 months to get homes adapted. What is the flow out of Somerville house?

Housing benefit

2023-11-02 14:35:21 UTC

How does this work - at what point in the process is this managed and does using an external provider have a positive impact in managing housing benefit and determining responsibility?

Capacity

2023-11-02 14:35:49 UTC

How has capacity been managed to meet the demand?

2023-11-02 14:35:52 UTC

How does this intersect with preventative work i.e. causes of homelessness?

2023-11-02 14:36:07 UTC

Is the pathway specific to discharge or anyone who is homeless?

2023-11-02 14:37:08 UTC

Interesting to see that staff are based out of the acute setting

Homelessness Duties

2023-11-02 14:37:55 UTC

Do the homeless pathways officers accept homeless duties or do housing options retain this function?

2023-11-02 14:38:11 UTC

How do you cope with the sudden increase in demand?

Excellent presentation Thank you :)

Household types

2023-11-02 14:43:25 UTC

You've mentioned rough sleepers, complex needs Inc MH & LD, those requiring aids & adaptations - how do you manage the variety of household types/individuals needs?
