Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the long-term housing strategy will include the potential impact of the supported housing sector on delivering outcomes, such as reducing homelessness.

The government values the role played by supported housing in tackling rough sleeping and homelessness. Providing the right support alongside housing can improve health, wellbeing and socio-economic outcomes to enable individuals in need of support, to access and retain housing, reducing their risk of homelessness and rough sleeping. This key role for supported housing was recognised in the National Plan to End Homelessness. We will publish the long-term housing strategy shortly.
