| Annotation | Housing options for people with severe mental health problems are limited, and often restricted to types of property and areas which most of us would not choose to live in. Accommodation of good quality in a welcoming and secure neighbourhood can have a very positive effect on mental health service users' sense of well-being. This article describes an innovation aimed at increasing housing choice for this particularly disadvantaged group, namely the shared ownership programme run by Advance Housing and Support Limited, a registered social landlord (RSL) working across central and southern England with people either with a mental health problem or a learning disability.
