London Hospital Discharge Housing Options Directory

Healthy London Partnership is promoting a new a housing options directory to support discharge of patients experiencing homelessness.

It contains useful contact and process information for each London Borough, to assist with referrals to step-down accommodation across the city. Given the added pressures of winter, we want to promote the directory as a handy go-to guide for any teams in doubt of referral contacts or processes.

The resource is currently available only on Future NHS (log in required). This site is intended to be used by NHS discharge officers, Pathway teams and others working in hospital discharge settings and emergency departments. It is to help you make referrals to local authority housing options services in the London boroughs. The London boroughs have shared information about their housing services

The details of how best to contact each of the London borough housing options teams, through the Duty to Refer process, or in an emergency, is set out on each borough’s page on the site.
