Which Way Home? 3 As part of this, and subsequent chapters, the findings also identify examples of good practice within Simon Communities. Chapter Three focuses on the critical issue of housing supply. The first section explores respondents’ views on the supply of social housing and private renting, as well as some of the key challenges for service users and service providers in sourcing accommodation and sustaining tenancies. The chapter then moves on to examine Simon Communities’ experiences and views on developing their own supply of accommodation options. Chapter Four discusses views on the supports necessary to make housing-led approaches work, and identifies a number of challenges in pulling together the range of support options that service users can realistically draw on. The chapter also considers the diversity of different geographical contexts in which housing-led services operate, and the need to tailor approaches to rural areas, as well urban settings. Chapter Five sets the approaches to housing-led services by the Simon Communities within an international comparison with housing-led approaches in other countries. The final chapter (Chapter Six) draws together the main findings from the research and summarises the key challenges in taking forwards housing-led approaches in Ireland.
