| Annotation | The Crossing the Housing and Care Divide Programme, jointly sponsored by the Housing Corporation and Anchor, was launched in 1995. Projects funded under the Programme explicitly aimed to tackle the interface between housing and personal care systems, and focused on services for older people: information and advocacy; new technology; and management and support services. The experiences of the projects demonstrate that efforts to integrate housing with community care services continue to be dogged by problems associated with joint working. Much remains to be done to define, monitor and evaluate the quality and effectiveness of services. Although there has been a user focus in community care policy, the projects demonstrated difficulties in forging links with users. (RH). |
