| Annotation | The Homeshare pilots initiative brings together older people and others who need support to stay in their homes (householders), with young people and others (homesharers), who provide companionship and ten hours per week of low level practical support in return for an affordable place to live. Commissioned by Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) and conducted by Traverse, this evaluation looked at what works to develop a sustainable homeshare scheme. It considers: the experiences of living in a Homeshare - its benefits and challenges, and the costs avoided by health and social care services; key factors in operating a sustainable scheme, including financing; and referring individuals to Homeshare. The £2 million Homeshare Partnership Programme (HSP) is funded by Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales (LBF) and Big Lottery Fund (BLF), which used these funds to support eight HSP sites in England and Scotland: Age UK Isle of Wight, Age UK Oxfordshire, Click Nottingham, Edinburgh Development Group, Knowsley Housing Trust and Person Shaped Support (PSS), Leeds City Council, Novus and PossAbilities.
