Essex County Council, GB and Tendring District Council turn empty properties into sheltered housing
Essex County Council, GB Tendring District Sheltered Housing
Complete
The councils selected four empty Tendring properties for the one-year pilot. Sixteen patients cleared for discharge from local hospitals but facing obstacles to independent living stayed in the accommodations. Health and social service professionals helped participants for up to three months as they adapted their homes or sought secure housing. The pilot freed up hospital beds, reduced healthcare costs, and assisted patients who often struggle after discharge.
