Supported Housing: North East Somerset and Hanham
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to protect supported housing in NE Somerset and Hanham constituency.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The government is committed to improving the quality of supported housing across England. We are implementing measures in the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023, which will strengthen local oversight, improve quality of support and require councils to produce Local Supported Housing Strategies to understand local supply, demand and unmet need.
We recognise the significant challenges faced by the supported housing and homelessness sector. As announced at Autumn Budget 2025, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury is leading work across government to improve the value for money of homelessness services, including delivery models to increase the supply of good‑quality, good‑value supported housing.
