Mental Health in All Housing Policies

The Centre for Mental Health has partnered with Healthy Homes Hub to provide this framework and practical checklist, designed to help embed mental health into social housing policy and operations at every level.

They are intended to empower housing providers to design and run services that protect and promote mental health, especially reflecting whether their services support the mental health of residents.

The framework offers a helpful set of principles and highlights the service improvements and outcomes that can be achieved. While the practical checklist signposts to useful tips on what to include when producing a variety of housing management policies. For example, on allocations, arrears, anti-social behaviour, repairs, retrofit, complaints and tenancy management.
