Growing demand for specialist homes for adult social care clients, coupled with a lack of available property led Dorset Council to use surplus public land for ‘meanwhile use’ to meet this urgent need. The OPE programme supported this pioneering scheme which has seen temporary, relocatable and adaptable homes developed for adults with learning disabilities, mental health issues or physical impairments.
