Integration of mental health and supported housing could save NHS £1bn a year

This report, commissioned by housing and support services provider Look Ahead, outlines that if integrated mental health and supported housing systems currently used in parts of London and the South East were implemented across the rest of the country, approximately £950 million could be saved to the NHS.

It found that the integrated mental health and supported housing models used by 167 individuals supported by Look Ahead Care and Support produced £5m a year in cashable savings and non-cash releasing efficiencies compared to hospital-based mental health care.
