Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the oral contribution of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government of 18 January 2018, Official Report, column 450WH, on supported housing, if he will publish the evidential basis for the timeframe reflecting the nature of support provided and an individual's journey and outcomes.

In defining the timeframe we sought the advice and views of a wide range of providers and stakeholders. We also took the sector Task and Finish groups views into account.

We are continuing to listen to the sector and are considering feedback through the current consultation which closed on 23 January.
