Accelerating the Delivery of Extra Care in Cornwall

Description

In 2023, the Council published its Supported and Specialist Housing Strategy, Cornwall Supported & Specialist Housing Strategy 2023-2050 which sets out the future demand for services. This future procurement is included in the scope of the strategy and its implementation plan. The demand for extra care can be seen in our Market Position Statements Our Adult Social Care Strategies - Cornwall Council In summary the future demand for extra care is estimated to be an additional 3,882 units by 2050 (50% for social/affordable rent and 50% for sale/shared ownership). In May 2024 the Council’s Cabinet approved a new approach to how we commission extra care housing development and associated services through a single end to end process. This approach will enable the Council to enter into long-term contracts for the delivery of care. Keywords: Extra Care
