Supported Housing Conference - London (supported by the Housing LIN)
Event date
Description
The National Supported Housing Conference is scheduled to give guidance on the future of the sector. In July, successful bids for the first round of the Housing and Communities Agency's Care and Support Specialised Housing Fund were announced. Housing related support payment by results pilots are nearing conclusion in ten regions and housing associations are looking for ways of assisting vulnerable tenants through the process of welfare reform. Questions as to how levels of service quality can be maintained in the face of budgetary restrictions demand innovative answers. Clearly, now is a time rich in both challenges and opportunities for housing-related support service providers.
