“…The case study here also highlights the difficulty in creating meaningful and authentic interaction in 'managed communities', particularly those suffering from a reduction of funding, provision, and residualisation (Lynch et al 2016). It is in this context of a 'managed community' that the Restorative Communities Programme struggles, both as a successful scheme in its own right as well as an effective restorative approach.…”

“…The second issue is the nature of the community in the supported housing context. these 'managed communities' are products of residualised services where there is little or no choice of services for those who need them, and where the reduction in resources means that there are increasingly stringent requirements within service contracts for achieving some form of 'successful' intervention (Lynch et al 2016). Consequently, the high risk, often chaotic, at times law-breaking, and frequently short-lived and changing resident lists make this a challenging environment in which to undertake restorative programmes.…”

Supported housing services provide help to some of the most vulnerable in society, yet across the world face increasing pressures from residualisation in the form of service reduction and stretched budgets. In response to these challenges, providers of supported housing and other similar community-focused services have sought alternative and innovative methods of engagement. This paper reports on one such example, the Restorative Communities Programme, which took place in 2018 in a residential supported housing setting for males aged 16–25. Designed as a five-week programme, it aimed to offer a proactive intervention promoting the benefits of restorative thinking. The research team observed the sessions and conducted follow-up qualitative interviews after two weeks and one year. This paper considers the challenges and success of the programme, reflecting particularly on issues of contractualised support and its impact on participation, and the dynamics of running such programs within the ‘managed community’ of a supported housing project. As such, the paper provides a useful analysis for others exploring the development and use of restorative projects in institutional settings, such as prisons, probation, and schools, and particularly those services struggling with the pressures of residualisation.

“…It is clear from the Government’s consultation and the Parliamentary inquiry that there are mounting pressures on budgets and those providers are concerned about the impact of this on their provision. We reflect these concerns in our earlier paper (Lynch et al , 2016, p. 598), which discusses “significant issues with welfare policy reform”, notably the directional changes to individual funding and benefits. Those we interview in this research express similar concerns in the context of ongoing difficulties around the turnover times for service contracts:…”

“…The UK Government’s consultation and inquiry were a partial acknowledgement of the significant stress felt by the supported housing sector in recent years. In our earlier work (Lynch et al , 2016), we examined the threats faced by the sector at the outset of this new austerity-driven policy landscape, considering the fears for an already depleted service. We argued that the pressures on supported housing were leading to a process of residualisation: the reduction of services so that they supply a service only to those most in need, who may often then become further marginalised by an underfunded and under-resourced service.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how residualisation is experienced across a supported housing provider in an English county. The analysis is in three parts: firstly, it focuses on organisational provision, including impacts of change on decisions on market entry and exit; secondly, it reviews evidence on service provision and the adaptations services are making to reflect the changing pressures of the sector; finally, it considers the impacts on service delivery and the experiences of those that rely on the provision. Design/methodology/approach The analysis uses interview data across the organisation, together with material from the UK Government department consultation (2017) and a UK Parliamentary Select Committee inquiry (2017) to examine the impacts across the different tiers of service, including the day-to-day experience of residualised services for those that deliver and receive that support. Findings The paper concludes that residualisation is a direct outcome of the neoliberalisation of welfare states, introducing limits to state involvement and funding, a greater emphasis on quasi-market involvement in the sector and a shifting of responsibility from government to individuals. Research limitations/implications It not only demonstrates the impacts of reducing state support on the supported housing sector but also emphasises the importance of residualisation as a conceptual framework applicable to the wider implications of austerity and neoliberal ideology. Practical implications This paper demonstrates the way that the burden of responsibility is being shifted away from the public provision of support and onto the individuals. This can be problematic for the individuals who are vulnerable as a result of their economic medical or social circumstances. Social implications The retreat of the state from supported housing is both a political change and an austerity-led change. This article provides insight from a single-supported housing provider. In so doing, it illustrates the pressure such an organisation is under. Originality/value This paper provides a unique insight from the perspective of all levels of a supported housing service provider, combined with the analysis of government consultation and parliamentary inquiry.

“…Terlebih untuk pemerintah daerah sendiri yang harus mempu memetakan ruang tata kota dan areanya sedemikian rupa agar tetap terjaga keindahan dan kelestariannya. Lynch et al, (2016) mengungkapkan bahwa regulasi menjadi dasar dari perencanaan kedepan. Apapun yang direncanakan oleh pemerintah tentunya harus berdasarkan hukum yang kuat sehingga mekanisme pada collaborative governance telah menempatkan pemerintah sebagai pemangku kepentingan yang berperan mengeluarkan peraturan tersebut.…”
