| Annotation | "Making the links" details and analyses expansion of home improvement agencies' (HIAs) provision into new areas, and is the result of a 3-year study funded by the Housing Corporation and Anchor Trust as part of their "Crossing the Housing and Care Divide". A summary outlines the aims, policy context and main findings with regard to cross-cutting, diversification, partnership and inter-agency working. Book 1 sets on the current policy context, looks at the outcome of the study into the provision of a diverse range of services by HIAs, and highlights the main conclusions for planners, commissioners and service providers. Book 2 profiles 13 of the additional services being provided by HIAs: hospital discharge; handyperson service; Disabled People's Housing Service; Disabled People's Project; aids and adaptations; emergency lifeline service; integrated home maintenance; energy efficiency; home security; gardening; decorating; unsolicited calls helpline; and home maintenance. Three experimental projects are examined in detail: Home from Hospital (Sefton); New Deal Meeting Housing and Care Needs (Coventry and Rugby); and Daily Living Support (Warwick). (RH). |
