The local supported housing strategies are a crucial step forward in increasing the Government’s and local councils’ understanding of the supply and need for this vital accommodation for people with care and support needs. The Act places a duty on all local housing authorities in England to assess the current provision of supported housing, and to estimate current unmet and future need. Delivery of the strategies will ensure that councils can plan new supply of supported housing effectively, and will enable better commissioning, oversight and safeguarding for vulnerable residents.
The guidance includes:
A framework for local supported housing strategies: including the statutory requirements under the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023, covering strategic priorities, partnership arrangements, needs assessment, and delivery plans, with the first strategy due by 31 March 2027 and updates every five years.
Process and components: Providing detailed steps for developing strategies, including designating strategic leads, engaging partners, conducting a needs assessment, and creating a delivery plan covering funding, development pipeline, referrals, void management, and move-on pathways.
Governance, reporting, and monitoring: Requirements for formal governance structures, annual reporting to MHCLG and ongoing review of progress, ensuring alignment with wider housing, health, and social care strategies and compliance with data-sharing and quality standards.
To support implementation the Government are allocating a total of £39 million in new burdens funding to local authorities. This will ensure that councils can develop robust local supported housing strategies and prepare for the introduction of full licensing and oversight functions.
This is an important first step in implementing measures that will enable local areas to properly understand who is delivering supported housing in the area, and will help ensure that in the future there is the right kind of supported housing to meet the needs of those who require it.
