1 JSNA Workshop Thursday 11 th December 2014 Anglia Room, Breckland District Council Offices Homelessness and Health in Norfolk
2 Role of Joint Strategic Needs Assessment Provides a picture of the health and wellbeing of a given area Only as good as what is included We have to have one Informs the work of the Health and Wellbeing Board (Strategy) Linked to annual Director of Public Health report Online JSNA with themes, profiles, reports and data that can be manipulated On the Norfolk Insight website and drawn from that data and analysis - (
3 What the JSNA is used for The JSNA provides an evidence base on which commissioners can base their service development (full JSNA reports would usually be termed needs assessments ) Any needs assessment would expect to include findings and recommendations These reports are often requested by commissioners, or can feed into an overall picture of need Any action taken on meeting needs is the role of the commissioners
4 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: PROJECT OVERALL To understand more about our homeless population in Norfolk - who are they, where are they, and what problems they are facing To map where we hold information, and where we don t To share knowledge and make contacts Agree to produce a health needs assessment for the homeless in Norfolk
5 A MEETING OF MINDS
6 WHAT WE ARE NOT HERE FOR TODAY
7 COLLATION OF DATA AND INFORMATION This is why we are all here In order to work out how can we be more effective we need to know what we are looking at; homelessness is about more than finding a roof
8 Roofless 1. People sleeping rough 2. People sleeping in a Night Shelter Houseless 1. People in accommodation for homeless people 2. People in refuges 3. People in accommodation for immigration 4. People due to be released from institutions (prison and hospital) 5. People receiving support (due to homelessness i.e. in supported accommodation) Insecure 1. People living in insecure accommodation (squatting, illegal camping, sofa surfing) 2. People living under threat of eviction 3. People living under threat of violence Inadequate 1. People living in temporary / non-standard structures 2. People living in unfit housing 3. People living in extreme overcrowding
9 WHO ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? For the purpose of the session and our work, we will be splitting homelessness into three core groups: Single Homeless Homeless Families The Hidden Homeless
10 SINGLE HOMELESS Single homelessness refers to homelessness among people of adult age without dependent children. It can affect anyone, but the research evidence suggests the experience is concentrated among people with support needs and/or who are on low or very low incomes and/or have a history of worklessness and poor educational attainment.
11 HOMELESS FAMILIES Homeless families are those homeless people of adult age with dependent children. This group would be deemed in priority need and eligible for assistance from a local authority
12 HIDDEN HOMELESSNESS This refers specifically to people who live temporarily with others but without guarantee of continued residency or immediate prospects for accessing permanent housing.
13 I d stay there only for one night at a time but it would be once a week with different friends so I weren t in the way. I used to meet up with different friends different nights, go back and early morning I d be gone. I used to tidy everywhere, to say thank you, coz I never had no money or any income...one night and that s it, leave a thank you summat like two bowls of cornflakes and milk for em. (Harvey, aged 33, talking about his late teens)
14 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: TODAY To start the process of producing a JSNA for needs of homeless people in Norfolk and how it affects their health Identifying the gaps we want to fill We can t do everything: we need a start point and a focus group
15 ALL HANDS TO THE PUMP No one person or agency can do this piece of work All here because of a vested interest in the subject This work WILL benefit everyone
16 What do we already know about health and homelessness? By Chris Hancock, Housing strategy officer, Norwich City Council
17 What do we already know about health and homelessness?
18 Homelessness means loss, loss, loss.it is not just the loss of a home, maybe a partner or of family life, of supportive friends or of a known community. It involves the loss of confidence and self-esteem. The loss of opportunities. These losses are less obvious and the long term effects on children in particular, and the stigma of homelessness, are not ever really taken on board. It s not just the reasons why people become homeless that are important but what it does to you (Health worker in 1997)
19 What do we already know? What do we mean by homelessness? Statutory homelessness only covers a small proportion of the homeless population in Norfolk. The following table gives a wider definition of homelessness:
20 What do we already know? Roofless 1. People sleeping rough 2. People sleeping in a Night Shelter Houseless 1. People in accommodation for homeless people 2. People in refuges 3. People in accommodation for immigration 4. People due to be released from institutions (prison and hospital) 5. People receiving support (due to homelessness i.e. in supported accommodation) Insecure 1. People living in insecure accommodation (squatting, illegal camping, sofa surfing) 2. People living under threat of eviction 3. People living under threat of violence Inadequate 1. People living in temporary / non-standard structures 2. People living in unfit housing 3. People living in extreme overcrowding
21 What do we already know? There have been a number of studies carried out to highlight the links between health and homelessness.
22 What do we already know?
23 What do we already know?
24 What do we already know?
25 What do we already know?
26 What do we already know? From the records of all deaths in England between , 1,731 were identified as having been homeless people. Homeless people are more likely to die young, with an average age of death of 47 years old and even lower for homeless women at 43, compared to 77 for the general population, and 74 for men and 80 for women. What did these homeless people die from?
27 What do we already know? Causes of death East of England London Due to drugs 26.5% 12.5% Other diseases and disorders 14.7% 15.0% Cardiovascular 12.7% 24.5% Due to alcohol 11.8% 16.3% Other external causes 10.8% 4.3% Respiratory 9.8% 8.8% Suicide/Undetermined injuries 7.8% 6.9% Cancer 5.9% 11.8%
28 What do we already know? It is difficult to measure the real scale of homelessness. Local housing authority returns only give a limited picture of the true extent of homelessness.

39 Greater Norwich homelessness review Our recent homelessness review showed that: There has been an increase in numbers of rough sleepers seen on the streets of Norwich; this reflects what is being seen nationally. 13 at our last count in November Over the past two years (12/13 and 13/14) the most common housing status of a person seeking housing advice at Norwich City Council is No Fixed Abode (NFA). This category is likely to include people who are sofa surfing, sleeping rough or living at friends/relatives. Increase in numbers of people being seen by homelessness services who are affected by sanctions to their benefit entitlement. This means that people are more reliant on free food hand outs such as the FoodBank. We know that around 11% of Norwich Job Centre s current caseload is subject to sanctions. National research has shown that 1 in 3 homeless people have been affected by sanctions to their benefit entitlement. Increase in the number of people being excluded from services because their needs are too high and complex.

41 NOW FOR THE FUN PART The golden rules: Work individually to answer each prompt, BUT this is an active brainstorming session; get up and walk around, and talk to each other! Write on post-its, but only one idea/answer per post-it You can say as little, or as much about each prompt If someone else has said what you were thinking-say it again! But, above all - follow the guidance for proper use of the Post-It notes
42 POST-IT: CODE OF GUIDANCE ONE IDEA/COMMENT PER POST IT NOTE PUT YOUR INITIALS AND ORGANISATION ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF EACH POST-IT PLACE POST IT HORIZONTALLY ON THE FLIP CHART DON T COVER ANY OTHER COMMENTS, MORE PAPER WILL BE ADDED WHEN NEEDED
