Government launches consultation on Supported Housing regulation

The government has published its proposals for implementing measures in the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023 and changes to Housing Benefit Regulations.

In short, it is proposing to introduce a locally led (scheme level) licensing regime for supported housing across England, along with new National Supported Housing Standards for the support provided and changes to Housing Benefit Regulations to ensure that supported housing is good quality and delivers value for money.
