“…Participants expressed a strong preference for individually tailored services that offer both choice and control (Forchuk, Nelson, & Hall, ; Kirkpatrick & Byrne, , ; Kirsh et al., ; Lindström, Lindberg, & Sjöström, ; Pyke & Lowe, ). Service users appreciated services that promote their autonomy through a flexible approach, enabling decisions about everyday activities (Carpenter‐Song, Hipolito, & Whitley, ; Chesters, Fletcher, & Jones, ).…”

Specialist supported accommodation services have become a key component of most community-based mental healthcare systems. While mental health policies highlight the importance of service user involvement in service development and care planning, there are no comprehensive literature reviews synthesising services users' perspectives on, or experiences of, supported accommodation services. This systematic review was undertaken to fill this gap. We searched electronic databases (January 2015, updated June 2017), conducted hand searches and used forward-backward snowballing to identify 13,678 papers. We inspected the full-text of 110 papers and included 50 of these in the final review. Data extraction and quality assessments were conducted. We used narrative synthesis to develop a conceptual model of service users' experiences that included structural, process, relational and contextual factors, such as the characteristics of the service, relationships with staff and other service users, the intensity and nature of support, the physical environment, and social and community integration. The review highlights the complex interplay of individual, service-level and community factors in shaping the lived experience of service users and their impact on personal identity and recovery. Our approach addressed some of the widely reported limitations of the quantitative research in this field, providing a conceptual model relevant to service user experiences across supported accommodation service types, population groups and countries.

“…Evidence of the importance of consumer choice/control are important for promoting the shifting of existing resources and the directing of new resources toward housing systems that foster greater self-determination and independence. Notably case studies of congregate housing programs in Ontario (Lord, Ochocka, Czarny, & MacGillivary, 1998;Pyke & Lowe, 1996) have demonstrated that they can be shifted toward a supported housing approach. There are, however, a number of other factors in most housing systems that also limit choice and control and that should be addressed.…”

This research examined two premises of supported housing: (a) that consumer choice/control over housing and support and the quality of housing are important contributors to the subjective quality of life and adaptation to community living of people with mental illness, and (b) that apartments provide mental health consumers with more choice/control over housing and support than group living arrangements. To test these two hypotheses, we collected data from participants with mental illness housed through a government initiative in Ontario, Canada. A total of 130 participants completed a baseline interview, and 91 of those participants also completed a follow-up interview 9-months later. Support was found for both hypotheses. The results were discussed in terms of the paradigm of supported housing, previous research, and implications for housing policy and program development in the community mental health sector.

“…The distinction between supportive housing and supported housing is to some extent becoming blurred as some supportive housing programs shift toward a supported housing approach (Lord et al 1998;Ochocka et al 1999;Pyke and Lowe 1996). This has involved modifying practices to better reflect the values of supported housing.…”

This article contrasts values associated with the delivery of housing programs for people with serious mental illness with the typical topics pertaining to housing that are studied by researchers. Six values were identified through a search and content analysis of the literature on housing for people with serious mental illness. A second review of the literature was conducted to identify research on housing for this population. A comparison of findings from the two reviews suggested that whereas values concerned with the therapeutic benefits of housing had received considerable research attention, those concerned with a citizenship dimension had received relatively little. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the delivery of housing services and for housing research.
