Following the introduction into law of the Supported Housing Bill in June 2023, the Government has now launched the long-awaited consultation in preparation for its implementation.
Stakeholders have been invited to submit their responses to the consultation here: Supported Housing regulation: consultation – GOV.UK with the consultation closing on 15th May 2025.
Key areas being consulted on include:
- Implementation Measures including the framework for the National Supported Housing Standards and the principles that will underpin them
- Drafting of regulations and guidance
- The proposed Licensing Scheme and how it will work
- Linking Housing Benefit to the new legislation
- Defining care, support and supervision within Housing Benefit Regulations
- How to link the new regulations to systems in Wales and Scotland
Part one of the consultation – the implementation of measures in the Supported Housing act 2023 – applies to England only, whilst Part two – housing benefit changes – applies to Great Britain. It is therefore imperative that any and all stakeholders have their say so that we can help shape the future of the sector
