Housing strategy/prospectus

The Specialist Housing Prospectus aims to support the delivery of our Adult Social Care Strategy 2024-2028 which aims to enable people to live a great life and support our communities to thrive and our Housing Strategy 2025-2035 which includes a strategic aim to develop specialist housing for older people, children and those with care needs.

Specifically, we aim to:

• Create more capacity: Develop sufficient affordable supported living options in Cheshire West and Chester so that more people can live in their community and to reduce reliance on out-of-borough placements.
  
  
• Improve quality of life: Enhance support services and high-quality housing to enable people to live better lives.
  
  
• Efficient housing pipeline: Forecast reliably and ensure robust commissioning plans over the short, medium and long term.
  
  
• Shape the market: Collaborate with providers for a diverse range of accommodation options.
  
  
• Expand independent living: Increase opportunities for individuals to live independently with appropriate support.
  
  
• Ensure compliance and quality assurance: Adhere to the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023and maintain high standards.
  
  
• Be sustainable and adaptable: Adapt accommodation solutions to meet changing needs as people grow older.
  
  
• Be open to innovation: Encourage innovation and creative solutions through collaboration.
