Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023
Asked by: Josh Babarinde (Liberal Democrat - Eastbourne) Monday 19th January 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what progress has been made to implement the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023. Answered by Alison McGovern - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The government remains committed to improving the quality of supported housing and implementing the measures in the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023.
A consultation on the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act’s measures, including supported housing licensing proposals and the draft National Supported Housing Standards for support, was published in 2025. The government will publish its response as soon as possible, ahead of consulting on draft licensing regulations and guidance.
Furthermore, guidance for the duty on local authorities to produce supported housing strategies will be published in February. New burdens funding will be allocated this financial year. The strategies will identify current provision, unmet need, enabling local authorities to plan for future demand. The Supported Housing Advisory Panel will be convened imminently, as soon as a Chair is in post. |
