The Housing LIN: Article link
The Housing LIN has started work on a research project aimed at increasing the role of housing associations in reducing the level of expensive delayed discharges from hospitals.
The Housing LIN has secured a contract from the National Housing Federation (NHF) to undertake the two month project.
Using evidence from existing partnerships between housing associations and local NHS and social care organisations, the work will identify the types of housing interventions that can ensure patients are discharged when they are fit to leave hospital.
It will also develop business cases housing associations can use to build partnerships with local health and social care commissioners to deliver their Sustainability and Transformation Plans.
