The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that the supply of supported housing meets future demand.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

At the Spending Review, we announced £39 billion for a new Social and Affordable Homes Programme over 10 years from 2026-27 to 2035-36.

The programme will not set numerical targets for particular types of homes other than Social Rent. However, it is designed with the flexibility necessary to support a greater diversity of social and affordable housing supply including supported housing.
