“…Finally, housing satisfaction acts as a variable in determining the relationship between the resident's background and his attitude towards mobility. In another clime, Research has shown that living in socially undesirable housing has adverse social and psychological effects [31,33,81,89,107]. Also, [81] revealed poor housing to be held responsible for some social problems, including identifiable physical and mental diseases of occupants' maladjustments of different kinds, intra-family and inter-family crowding, low self-esteem of slum dwellers, barriers to economic improvement, the problem of adequately educating the children.…”

The study adopted a quantitative approach and data were collected through a questionnaire survey from 265 household heads of the housing estate proportionately selected from the target population in Maiduguri metropolis. The data collected were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics with mean ranking, frequency distribution and multiple regression analysis to achieve the research aim. The study showed that quality of building component, Condition of a bedroom, condition of living room, condition of the roof, condition of finishing and condition of the kitchen were ranked as very good and condition of the store, condition of the dining area, condition of garage and condition of toilets were good in the study area, while public housing quality and preference significantly influence occupants' satisfaction in Maiduguri metropolis. The research recommended that occupant peculiarities should be integrated into the design and development of housing estate. This will ensure that the satisfaction of the occupants is well co-opted in the development and therefore lead to higher satisfaction and functionality of the estates. The provision of facilities and amenities in public housing estates should be based on the occupant requirements and peculiarities. This will lead to the optimal utilization of the estate after development.

“…In addition, almost half the users of both the English and Verona services moved on to more independent accommodation successfully over the 30 months. This suggests that, in both settings, a 'care pathway' was in operation where individuals graduate to more independent accommodation over time, as they gain skills and confidence [21].…”

“…Whilst the specification of the three main models of service in the two countries are not exactly the same, in both they tend to operate as a 'care pathway', providing an appropriate level of support to individuals according to their specific needs, and, where possible, enabling them to move on to less supported or fully independent accommodation over time. This has the advantage of providing tailored support and clear goals for staff and service users to work towards, but the drawback is that individuals have to keep moving home as they progress in their recovery [21]. In 2016, in England, it is estimated that around 60,000 working-age adults with severe mental health problems are living in supported accommodation (roughly 100/100,000 inhabitants), costing around £150 per week for the lowest supported accommodation services (FO) to around £500 per week for the highest (RC) [22].…”

Purpose England and Italy are considered pioneers in the development of community mental health services. Both have implemented supported accommodation services for those with more complex needs, which can be broadly categorized into three main types with similar specification. The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of these services and their users in England and Italy. Methods Data from two cross-sectional surveys of supported accommodation services undertaken across England and in Verona, Italy (England-619 service users from 87 services; Verona-167 service users from 25 services) were compared. Results Service users in the two samples had similar sociodemographic and clinical characteristics; most were male, unmarried and unemployed, with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia or other psychosis and over 15 years contact with mental health services.

“…Studying mental health-supported accommodations is hampered around the world by a confusion of terms 2 and characteristics, such as models, physical structures, and recovery focus (33, 34). A recent effort to create a taxonomy identified at least five different international types varying along dimensions of staffing location, level of support, permanence, physical setting (35).…”

From Residential Care to Supportive Housing for People With Psychiatric Disabilities: Past, Present, and Future

For centuries, treatment and accommodation for people with significant mental health conditions in many countries, including the United States, have been viewed as necessarily inseparable elements, first in asylums and then, with deinstitutionalization, in community care models. The advent of psychiatric rehabilitation and later, recovery, helped to shift the paradigm of mental health services and the role of housing, to one focused on promoting the ability of individuals to achieve not only a life located in the community, but one that reflects a meaningful life as part of a community. In this context, supportive housing emerged as a model based on integrated, permanent, affordable housing, selected by the person, with flexible supports that are functionally separate, but available as needed and wanted. This model of housing has been predominant in American mental health services for over 20 years, and evidence now exists for its outcomes in terms of housing stability, symptom reduction, and psychosocial variables. Current challenges, both at the societal and the individual level, confront the sustainability of supportive housing, with some efforts being made by housing groups to address these challenges. This article reviews the evolution of supportive housing and its basic tenets, identifying the challenges and some efforts to address them. In addition, the article discusses the current social and economic climate, which appears to be shaping opposing trends, and makes a call to action, to mitigate the possible risks to the future of this value-based housing approach.
