Innovative work is continuing with Mersey Care Integrated Care Teams and Prima Housing through the Healthy @ Home pilot. This partnership brings health and housing together to support tenants to stay well in their own homes. The pilot, due to start in April 2026, will explore whether issues such as cold, damp, mould, or home safety concerns may be impacting residents’ health, and whether additional support could help address these challenges.
Prima Housing has now written to more than 200 residents, inviting them to take part in the pilot. Participants will be offered a holistic assessment delivered by the Integrated Care Team, alongside a home survey undertaken by Prima Housing. While a small number of homes will be identified for detailed intervention, the offer of support is available to all residents living at the selected addresses.
Importantly, Prima Housing will only share information relating to properties, not individuals, and no personal health information will ever be shared.
This programme represents a national exemplar of best practice, demonstrating how data linkage between health and housing can be used to address the root causes of poor health in some of our most vulnerable communities. The pilot has already attracted significant interest from national and specialist media, as well as the Cabinet Office. The impact of this partnership approach will be closely monitored, with learning shared with interested stakeholders.
