NHF launches new campaign to Save Our Supported Housing

The Housing LIN is proud to join industry leaders and be a signatory to this new campaign to bolster funding for supported housing in the forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review.

Initiated by the National Housing Federation (NHF), the Save Our Supported Housing campaign is calling for urgent investment in the sector, pointing out that supported housing faces a worsening funding crisis, more service closures, and even more pressure on our vital public services, including the NHS, social care, homelessness services, and the criminal justice system.

Key asks of the campaign are:

  • Significantly increase funding for housing-related support to at least £1.6bn per year.  
  • Commit to delivering more supported homes by 2040, with clear funding in Homes England/GLA’s Affordable Homes Programme and supported homes a key part of the government’s 1.5m housebuilding target.   
  • Ensure that the long-term housing strategy and homelessness strategy encompass the vital role of supported housing in the housing system.
