The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what his planned timetable is for responding to the Supported Housing regulation: consultation that closed in May 2025.

Answered by Alison McGovern

All supported accommodation providers must comply with their existing legal duties, including meeting the relevant standards for the quality of accommodation.

The Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023 introduces new National Supported Housing Standards for the support provided, and a locally led licensing framework.

The government remains committed to implementing the measures in the Act and will publish its response to the consultation as soon as possible.
