Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the £300 million for supported housing will be made available; and how (a) local authorities and (b) housing providers will be able to access that funding.

The ‘People at the Heart of Care: adult social care reform’ white paper, published on 1 December 2021, announced a £300 million investment in housing over the next three years to connect housing with health and care and increase the stock of new supported housing. We are currently developing this work with local authorities, housing providers and others and further information will be available in due course.
