What is it about?
In this study, we present the outcomes of a preliminary evaluation of reductions in functional need and psychological distress in a population with severe and enduring mental illness, living in an enhanced support living model.

Why is it important?
We report significant reductions to unmet need and levels of formal and informal help given/required during tenancy both at 6- and 12-months following admittance. The findings support that, even in the absence of clinical recovery, opportunities exist to make meaningful and valuable improvements to unmet need and functional independence, with implications for clinical practice in the context of supported living.
Perspectives
The findings provide encouraging early indications of the benefits of the model in making meaningful reductions to functional and psychological needs in individuals with severe and enduring mental illness.
