Better housing is important for the mental and physical health of our communities
In the North East and North Cumbria we have set up a Housing, Health, and Care Programme to build on the collaborative work already underway to improve housing, care, and support so people can stay healthy and live independently. .
The programme is led by the North East branch of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS), the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, the Northern Housing Consortium, and the TEC Services Association (TSA); with support from many other partners.
We have partnered with the Housing Learning and Improvement Network (LIN) to develop a baseline review of housing needs in the region. This, along with feedback from events, and discussions, and our community of practice has shaped our plans for the next five-years.

Community of practice
Our 'community of practice' – this is an open forum for knowledge-sharing and collaboration – it will support the work of the programme, bringing together council, NHS, housing providers and people with lived experience to learn from each other.
