Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what fiscal steps he is taking to increase the housing supply for those with social care needs.

Supported housing provides valuable support to some of our country’s most vulnerable people, including those with social care needs.

The Government is committed to protecting and increasing the supply of supported housing. At Spending Review the Government announced £400 million of funding to deliver 8,000 new specialist affordable homes for the vulnerable, elderly or those with disabilities through the Affordable Homes Programme. In addition, 6,000 more specialised homes are also being funded through the Department of Health’s Care and Support Specialised Housing (CASSH) fund.
