The Scheme also supports the Trust's Financial Recovery Plan (FRP) given the comparative cost benefits of the Scheme against typical inpatient care stays. The proposal aligns closely with the Trust's strategic objectives by addressing key priorities in rehabilitation, financial recovery, and patient-centred care. By expanding the Supported Tenancies Scheme, the Trust strengthens its commitment to delivering a holistic rehabilitation pathway that enables patients to transition into independent living wherever possible. This approach not only supports patients with complex needs but also aligns with the Trust's Rehabilitation Case for Change by offering sustainable housing solutions that improve outcomes and reduce reliance on more restrictive inpatient and residential care where patients are able to progress towards greater independence.The Scheme will continue to be part of the totality of the Trust's Community Rehabilitation Service (CRS) offer, with CRS's the sole referrers to properties and working in partnership with BHT to coproduce Care Plans and Risk Assessments at the point of referral. BHT and the CRS will collaborate when a person moves into a property to ensure the person is best supported to sustain their occupancy with CRS input committed to patients referred for a minimum period of three years"
