Housing to Health

The Housing to Health project is delivered by Nottingham City Council Housing Services in partnership with NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board (ICB).

The project aims to improve links between housing and health in Nottingham by providing a 'hand-holding' service to speed up a patients hospital discharge, or working within the community to intervene before individuals are hospitalised due to unsuitable accommodation.

Housing to Health Co-ordinators act as the referral point and are responsible for finding suitable accommodation from Nottingham HomeLink vacant properties.
