Does current housing for vulnerable older, disabled or homeless people effectively improve the well-being of those who live in them? This important book explores the impact of different forms of policy and practice on the lives of vulnerable people, arguing for a flexible policy approach that places people in control of their own lives. The book will be a valuable resource for those working in and devising policy for supported housing as well as students on urban studies and planning courses and those studying Health and Social Care subjects who wish to better-understand the nature of supported housing.
