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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he plans to take to ensure that the funding model for short-term supported housing and sheltered housing incentivises new development to meet both current and future demand.

With demand for supported housing set to increase, changes made to the system now will be vital in securing the future of the sector. Our approach to funding reform must both help protect current provision and boost new supply. We want our proposals to put funding for the sector on a long-term sustainable basis, promoting investment in new development, whilst ensuring value for money. We have taken stock of consultation responses and will be responding on this soon.
