Demand Bulletin Overview for Supported Living Services in Essex
The Demand Bulletin Overview for Supported Living Services in Essex for February 2023 highlights key data on the age profile of referrals, types of accommodation sought, trends, and more. The report reveals a slight decrease in the number of people actively seeking accommodation, with a significant portion still without identified options. Most demand is for non-complex services, with a preference for shared accommodation. The data emphasizes the need to develop self-contained services for adults with complex needs, particularly in certain districts like Colchester. Understanding these demand patterns is crucial for effectively meeting the supported living needs in Essex.

Learning Disabilities and/or Autism (LDA) Demand
Demand by District (LDA) Demand by District Demand by Complexity 30 18 16 25 14 12 20 10 8 15 6 4 10 2 0 5 0 Complex Non-Complex Demand by Accommodation Type Headlines 16 Broken down by district we can see the highest demand in Colchester (24 adults) followed by Chelmsford (15) and Tendring (13) The highest demand for complex adults is in Colchester (7) It is worth noting that the second highest level of demand for complex needs is Countywide meaning location is fluid and complex services could be developed anywhere. Areas where more complex adults are seeking accommodation have a corresponding demand for self-contained accommodation demonstrating the importance in developing these services for complex needs 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Shared Self-Contained
Demand by Need (LDA) Complex Needs Non-Complex 73 Adults 27 Adults 50 Option Identified 17 Option Identified 23 No Option Identified 10 No Option Identified 55 Shared 12 Shared 18 Self-Contained 15 Self-Contained Headlines 37% of adults with complex needs have no option identified the same figure as per the last bulletin 32% of those with non-complex needs have no option identified which is again the same figure as per the last bulletin There is a higher proportion of complex adults (56%) that are seeking self-contained accommodation than for non- complex (25%). This demonstrates the need for self-contained services to be developed for adults with complex needs.
Adults with no option identified (LDA) By District Non-Complex 30 7 6 25 5 20 4 15 3 10 2 5 1 0 0 Adults No Option Identified Shared Self-Contained Headlines Complex 4.5 Colchester and Tendring (8 adults) have the highest number of adults with no option identified, with the second highest number being Chelmsford and Maldon (3 each). Proportionately Rochford (1 adult), Harlow (2), Maldon (3) and Tendring (8) have the biggest disparity between demand and those that have no option yet identified 90% of the complex adults seeking accommodation need self-contained services with need primarily in Colchester (5 adults). Tendring shows 6 adults seeking accommodation in shared housing who currently have no viable option, demonstrating the need for services to be developed here. 4 3.5 3 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 Shared Self-Contained
Physical and/or Sensory Impairment (PSI) Demand
Demand by District (PSI) Demand by Complexity Demand by District 2.5 2.5 2 2 1.5 1 1.5 0.5 1 0 0.5 0 Complex Non-Complex Demand by Accommodation Type Headlines 2.5 The level of demand is significantly lower from adults with PSI. We can see the highest demand in Chelmsford with two adults looking for services, and other individuals looking also in Basildon, Brentwood, Colchester and Epping Forest. Only one adult is defined as complex and they are seeking accommodation in Colchester. There is an even split between those seeking shared and self- contained but the two adults in Chelmsford are both seeking this indicating a need in this area. 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 Shared Self-Contained
Demand by Need (PSI) Complex Needs Non-Complex 5 Adults 1 Adults 0 Option Identified 0 Option Identified 5 No Option Identified 1 No Option Identified 3 Shared 0 Shared 2 Self-Contained 1 Self-Contained Headlines 100% of adults with PSI needs have no option identified at this time, suggesting a lack of suitable services. There is a higher proportion of non-complex adults seeking accommodation.
Adults with no option identified (PSI) By District Non-Complex 2.5 2.5 2 2 1.5 1.5 1 1 0.5 0.5 0 0 Adults No Option Identified Shared Self-Contained Complex 1.2 Headlines 1 0.8 There are no options identified for any of the adults with PSI seeking accommodation in Essex. The spread of where people would like to live is challenging for development but Chelmsford looks like a key area for focus, along with south-west Essex. Only one adult is presented as having complex needs. 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 Shared Self-Contained
