The Supported Tenancies Scheme is a partnership between the Trust, Registered Providers of Social Housing and Registered Charities for patients using adult rehabilitation services. The Scheme provides long-term homes alongside tailored mental health care and intensive housing management as a pathway to independence and cost-effective alternative to inpatient care.
The pilot scheme was developed in partnership with BHT, Southdown Housing Association, Worthing Homes, and Turning Tides. The Trust underwrites some Scheme void and unrecoverable housing costs as part of a risk-sharing agreement with our housing partners
Following favourable evaluation, this project is intended to expanding the scheme by establishing 5 new properties in West Sussex
Following ongoing conversations with our VCSE and housing partners about possibilities to extend the scheme by more properties, Turning Tides have submitted an outline plan to expand the Supported Tenancies Scheme in West Sussex
SPFT intend by awarding a 12-month contract to Turning Tides, as the only supplier submitting a proposal, to cover staffing, direct services, and operational costs.

The Scheme also supports the Trust's Financial Recovery Plan (FRP) given the comparative cost benefits of the Scheme against typical inpatient care stays. The proposal aligns closely with the Trust's strategic objectives by addressing key priorities in rehabilitation, financial recovery, and patient-centred care. By expanding the Supported Tenancies Scheme, the Trust strengthens its commitment to delivering a holistic rehabilitation pathway that enables patients to transition into independent living wherever possible. This approach not only supports patients with complex needs but also aligns with the Trust's Rehabilitation Case for Change by offering sustainable housing solutions that improve outcomes and reduce reliance on more restrictive inpatient and residential care where patients are able to progress towards greater independence.The Scheme will continue to be part of the totality of the Trust's Community Rehabilitation Service (CRS) offer, with CRS's the sole referrers to properties and working in partnership with BHT to coproduce Care Plans and Risk Assessments at the point of referral. BHT and the CRS will collaborate when a person moves into a property to ensure the person is best supported to sustain their occupancy with CRS input committed to patients referred for a minimum period of three years
