CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW
Theme: To identify the role of supported housing in welfare activities
As per the views of Soaita and et. al., (2017), the government has presented the idea of
supported housing which belongs to the 3 categorises of the framework such as Sheltered and
extra care housing, short term and long terms supported housing. Extra care housing is designed
with the needs of old aged people and who have mental disability. This houses aimed at
facilitating the appropriate care and help to such individuals. The short term supported housing
helps in bringing the adequate care and help to those individuals who has stayed for the short
period such as students on which they will have accommodation facilities limited time. The long
term housing plan for those who has serious diseases and obstacles in living. However, it will be
beneficial for the entity in terms of having the most adequate and appropriate housing techniques
which will be beneficial in terms of analysing the requirements of society. The first category lies
over the operations that, sheltered and extra care housing includes the adults of any age which
are occupied by the older people and need to have the appropriate shelter for their living.
Therefore, here the government has planned to facilitate the retirement of the older people and
bring them the shelter housing. In accordance with Cherry and et.al., (2017), this is necessary to
have the adequate analysis over the significant of determining the retirement housing will be a
scope for having a new shelter in housing categories of not which are required to have the
adequate rent and eligible charges over it.
To have the favourable influences of the support housing process which will be beneficial
in terms of facilitating the better healthy atmosphere to the people who are facing the economic
challenges. In accordance with Cherry and et. al. (2017), there is huge requirement of having the
support housing system in a country that will be beneficial in supporting the sustainable growth
of economy in terms of making the such individuals to perform the duties and tasks. However, in
accordance with such challenges it will help them in overcoming the economic obstacles and
financial challenges. McCrone and Stephens, (2017) stated that, it will be beneficial for the
society and the individuals to have the independent operation of their daily routine and having a
shelter will give them mental and physical support. It will be beneficial in terms of improving the
health and hygiene of such people. It will also help the government in overcoming with the
crimes and violence and that will be covered by stabilised life style of the people.

McKee and et. al. (2017) describes that, to facilitate this opportunity to society there will
be requirements of the adequate amount of resources such a labour, material and specially
finance. Therefore, in consideration with such requirement it can be said that the government
need to have collaborations with various private entities who will facilitate the adequate services
to the support of this project. There will be availability of the labour and the technologies to
construct such houses in the most prompt way. There will be favourable supports from such
individual which in turn fruitful for the society to have the houses on required time. Lipman and
Manthorpe, (2017) stated that, it will be beneficial for the entities in terms of having the
governmental support which will be cost effective to them and have appropriate operations of the
project. This step of government is being facilitate to the society in support of bring the healthy
environment to the society with a perfect operational. The governmental plan to improve the
housing use will be effective in terms of rising the economy of nation but there is also need of
improving the policies on the local economic level (Hobson, Lynch and Dooley, 2017). In the
current environment to facilitating the housing opportunities to the society there is need to have
proper existence of resources which will be beneficial for facilitating such services to the
individuals. The government approached to bring favourable services to the clients who have
obtained the housing services or are living in improper conditions.
Theme: To ascertain steps taken by the government in context of supported housing
According to Tang, Oxley and Mekic, (2017), the local housing allowance cap does not
applicable for the social rented housing or supported housing. Therefore, there will be various
debates in the parliament to announce such program. Therefore, these are the main obstacles
incurred while facilitating the plan for such development of supported housing or investment
services. There will be requirement of appropriate amount of funds which will be utilise for such
infrastructural development (Oyebanji, Liyanage and Akintoye, 2017). There are various plans
and strategies of the government in relation with strengthening the economic conditions of a
nation. The main motive of reflects that there is ned to have the adequate amount of funds which
they will have through various sources such as taxation, loans and advances as well as
investments made by private entities in the capital projects. However, these are the sources
through which they will have the adequate amount of funds for the operation. Cerutti, Dagher
and Dell'Ariccia, (2017) said that, it will be better that the government must have collaboration
6

with other private industries who believes in giving the most appropriate and beneficial services
to the individuals.
According to Hoolachan and et.al., (2017), to facilitate the short term supported housing
services to the individuals there is need to have the most effective solutions to various
operations. Under this category these are the people who would like to move in the permanent
housing for the period of 2 years which are to be fall under the category of short term supported
housing. It includes the accommodation facilities provided to the homeless people and refugee to
any place such as hostels (Wainwright and Manville, 2017). This brings the support services to
the women who has faced the violence, substance misuse and people who belongs to the old age
where there is no one to have the adequate look after. However, it clearly defies that these are the
people who are wanted to have a shelter for the less period. As per the views of McCrone and
Stephens, (2017), it can be said that there is need to have the most adequate and effective
solutions to the issues which are being faced by the individuals who are being challenged
financial requirement. Therefore, in relation with that there is need to have the most effective and
adequate services which will be helpful to them to have the satisfactory solutions to their
problems. Thus, these are the support technique of government in order to bring the good health
to the individuals as well as to have the better independent living that will be helpful in rising the
living standard of people.
Theme: To assess the criteria based on which they are chosen for supported housing
McKee, Muir and Moore, (2017) represented that, such governmental policies will be
helpful to the people who are pursuing their life on the very critical path. There will be lack of
funds for living, even though they will not being able to earn their necessity for the survival. In
addition to this it can be said that such support will be beneficial for them to have a temporary
stay at a place and have better survival (Lipman and Manthorpe, 2017). This will be helpful for
the society as well as for government to have control over poverty and downfall of the economic
conditions. Therefore, it will help the society in terms of making the most appropriate and
adequate changes in the operations as well as bring the favourable life support to the society.
Hobson, Lynch and Dooley, (2017) said that, People who are facing challenges by inadequate
funds and finance for the betterment of the life style will have the favourable support from the
government. It will helpful for the tenants as they will not have to work for the better housing at
7

risk on the higher rent level. There will be less rent and charges to such shelter services which
will be affordable by them as to have the most appropriate place for living (Tang, Oxley and
Mekic, 2017). Therefore, there will be various challenges which are to faced by the government
in terms of facilitating such services to the society. It includes findings for the local authority and
eliminating the support services for the inadequate short terms supported housing.
Oyebanji, Liyanage and Akintoye, (2017) stated that to facilitate the funds for the short
term basis which will be challenging for the professionals in terms of having inappropriate
duration of their stay such as 1,2 and 3 years which will be challenging for them in terms of
facing the in adequate financial security in the investments as well as refurbishments provisions.
They have to face obstacles in funding and grants form the government which will be on the
basis of fixed term basis. In relation with such operations it can be said that there is need to have
the most adequate and appropriate techniques that will be beneficial in terms of analysing the
adequate requirements as well as overcoming with the financing emergencies. Tang, Oxley and
Mekic, (2017), stated that, for such supported housing system the government has to make
adequate changes in the policies and procedure of facilitating the support to society (Cerutti,
Dagher and Dell'Ariccia, 2017). It must be clear and fair to everyone. The motive of preventing
the nation from the economic and financial crisis they must have perfect execution over the
services facilitated to the society.
Theme: To ascertain the type of support offered to tenant in moving to other accommodation
According to McCrone and Stephens, (2017), it can be said that the motive behind
implicating such services will be helpful to the citizens and the people to have the productive
increment in their life style as well as a stable financial conditions. This will encourage the
society in terms of having the employment opportunity which will be good for having increased
GDP rate of the country. In the current market scenario the need of having the adequate growth
in the profitability as well as revenue generation is quite important. The examination of the
governance theory in terms with the affordable housing it can be said that the move of
government is to improve the home ownership. There is ned to have an adequate governance
configuration as well as framework which play main role in facilitating the adequate services to
the consumers especially to the medium income earner. Tang Oxley and Mekic (2017) said that,
the affordability is denoted as per the buying capacity of the medium income families which are
8

need to be appropriate in quality as well as favourable facilities offered by the government in
each house.
According to Wainwright and Manville (2017), in order to develop the better housing
facilities the government of UK has offered very adequate and appropriate strategies and
initiatives in terms with the greater support. The main motive is to have the satisfactory
improvement in the acre and facilitating the personal services to the old and physically weak
people. In addition to these the legal authority of the nation has offered a scheme such as Our,
Health, Our care and Our say which reflect the ability of the government in terms of offering the
better level of independence to every individual in the country. The influence of such scheme in
the UK environment play the main role in provide the houses just half of the costs which are
mainly offered by the private entities such as 500000 to 240000. According to Gurran and
Bramley, (2017), with these plans of government it is essentially required to design the houses
which includes all the facilities such as proper lightning and water which will give the best
healthy and appropriate life style to such individuals. In the recent years approximately 716000
of people were benefited with such scheme as it brings the houses at very lower costs and which
will be affordable by everyone.
In accordance with Bailey, (2017), To improve such idea and facilitate the most
appropriate supported housing services to the consumers there is requirement of having proper
support from the citizens and corporations. There will be need of improving the accommodation
facilities to facilitate the intensive care to the individual who are suffering form the serious
diseases and are physically challenged. It can be said that such an operation will be helpful to
them in terms of making the appropriate changes in the operations. The value is to be given to
these schemes as it is the most favourable technique to help the vulnerable people in the society.
The legislature are committed to boosting and provoking the supplies in supported housing.
According to Wainwright and Manville, (2017), the legal bodies of the country are also planning
for implementing the use of Social Housing Green Paper which will be helpful in promoting the
wider Social housing sector. Therefore, in relations with such strategies it has been analysed here
that the local areas does not have appropriate funding and controls over the expenditures which
will be difficult for analysing the money for tenants and for the taxpayers (Murphy, Scott-
Clayton and Wyness, 2017).
