AnnotationOne of the cornerstones of social housing is tenant participation. Changes in service delivery are subject to genuine consultation with the people it affects. The author argues that this has been forgotten in the rush to introduce floating support. He refers to the research that Help the Age is undertaking based on tenants' concerns, to argue that greater understanding of the consequences of floating support in people's lives is needed before this new model becomes irreversibly widespread. An earlier version of this article was published in Working with Older People (vol 12, issue 2, June 2008). (RH).
