Four routes or pathways have now been identified by which individuals may come within the scope of PSA 16 National Indicator 149, which is concerned with monitoring efforts to achieve settled accommodation for individuals with significant mental health problems. This article focuses on their needs and the identification of those with mental health needs as seen through these four principal routes. An understanding of these four possible pathways can help to identify areas for priority action, local delivery chains and partnerships, and also highlight some of the challenges and risks in and for delivery.

This article calls for better co‐operation and co‐ordination between mental health and housing support services, and greater recognition of the important role of social housing in community mental health care.

The Social Exclusion Unit's report on mental health, published in the summer of 2004, had surprisingly little to say about housing. But behind the scenes there has been a ferment of activity, and the National Institute for Mental Health for England (NIMHE) has been given the lead role in advancing all central government efforts to create a more joined‐up vision of mental health for the 21st century. NIMHE has taken the lead on implementation of the SEU's conclusions, and much more besides. A National Project Team on mental health and housing is to come together next year, with a wide‐ranging brief. This article looks at some of the issues that this new body will take on, including a new focus on research on the links between poor mental health and poor housing, and on evaluation of 'housing‐based solutions'. As NIMHE itself is absorbed from April into the new Care Services Improvement Partnership, the prospects for linking housing with the community care modernisation agenda must be looking up.

Social inclusion means ensuring that all individuals, despite any particular perceived 'differentness' (Sayce, 2000; Harrison & Davis, 2001) or disadvantage in life, may nevertheless feel at home in the world and find a sense of belonging in their local community. But the most important place to feel at home is at home.

Institutional economics has some useful things to say about government policy‐forming processes. It focuses attention on the structural components of government institutions which shape the direction of policy formation and its delivery. In this article, the author discusses how institutional models of government decision‐making may be adapted to parliamentary systems of government. This approach has some merit because it rescues analysis of government processes from models based on the US constitutional system.

A father should be the man by which all other men are measured in the eyes of his daughter.This book is designed to open up discussions between fathers and daughters on the cusp of becoming adults. Too often meaningful conversations between fathers and daughters break down and falter for lack of a focus on the simple things in life. Small conversations, which continually bolster the self-esteem and self-efficacy of the young woman leaving home, may create a space that will allow the relationship between the father and his daughter to remain intact after she has left the home. Robin K. Johnson's experiences with his seven daughters have given him insight into what leads to the disconnect between a father and daughter when she begins to step into womanhood, leaving the image of ''daddy's little girl'' behind.A Daughter's Book of Secrets contains vital information that a father should impart to his daughter. It also opens up areas in which some fathers fear to tread, but where they may meet their daughters as they enter into adulthood
