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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what discussions he has had with sheltered housing providers on their concerns on the effect of any caps on service charges on their ability to adapt to meet the changing needs of their residents.

Ministers and officials have been engaging closely with sheltered accommodation and extra care housing providers. We value the role this type of housing plays in enabling older people to maintain their independence and are clear our approach to sheltered housing must enable providers to continue delivering these important services for their vulnerable residents.
