BACKGROUND
There is a lack of appropriate housing at both State and local service level. A safe affordable and supportive living environment is a right, yet rarely considered as an essential part of service provision. Admission to hospital can cause consumers to lose their accommodation placements. This often leads to consumers being discharged to accommodation outside of their established community network. This leads to further isolation and alienation for consumers. Consumers experiencing high levels of symptoms and an ongoing disability are all too frequently discharged from inpatient units to what‟s available, not what‟s appropriate due to lack of “hospital bed‟s” and lack of resources within the community. The quick and unmanaged shift often results in readmission to an inpatient unit when the problem stems not from the individual, but their environment.
SOLUTIONS
·Develop housing plans for all mental health consumers
·Develop a variety of living situations, address important factors such as age and disability
·Provide intensive supported accommodation in the community for those who require it
·Improve existing conditions and mandate standards to ensure continuity of services
