Westminster – Housing Needs Assessment 200613.7 Care & repair and staying put schemesThis section studies support needs households who have stated experiencing difficulty inmaintaining their home. There is already a care and repair scheme in Westminster designed toenable households with support needs to live comfortably within their own home, having access tothe support services they need.The results are shown in the table below and are split between owner-occupiers and tenants. Thetable clearly shows that support needs households are more likely than other households in the Cityto have problems maintaining their homes.Of all households with a problem or serious problem, a total of 64.4% have support needs. A vastmajority of these are tenants.Table 13.11 Support needs households and difficulty maintaining homeA problem/ seriousNo problemHousehold groupproblemTOTALNumber % Number % Number %Support needs – owner-occupied 4,244 99.3% 31 0.7% 4,275 100.0%Support needs – tenants 5,505 63.3% 3,191 36.7% 8,696 100.0%All support needs households 9,749 75.2% 3,222 24.8% 12,971 100.0%All households 107,392 95.5% 5,003 4.5% 112,395 100.0%Source: City of Westminster Housing Needs Survey 2006The evidence of the tables above is that there is certainly justification for the ‘staying put’ or ‘careand repair’ scheme in the City. A total of 5,003 households state a problem with maintaining theirhomes – of these 3,222 are support needs households with an estimated 3,191 living in rentedaccommodation.13.8 Support needs households and the basic needs assessment modelIn addition to the above it is possible to study how support needs households fit into the BasicNeeds Assessment Model. The table below gives an estimate of how much of the housing need willbe from support needs households and also an estimate of the likely supply to these households. Thetable shows there is an estimated net supply of 291 dwellings per annum from support needshouseholds.PAGE 126

There are 7,451 households containing a‘physically disabled’ person and a further 5,042 with household members who are ‘frail elderly’.Support needs households in the City of Westminster are generally smaller than average for the Cityand are disproportionately made up of older persons only. Support needs households are more likelythan households overall to be in unsuitable housing.Support needs households in general stated a requirement for a wide range of adaptations andimprovements to the home. A lift/stair lift and level access shower units were most commonlyrequired.Finally, the survey suggested there is justification for furthering the ‘care & repair’ and ‘stayingput’ scheme currently in Westminster.PAGE 127
