Housing Benefit: Supported Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, in each of the past three financial years, how much Housing Benefit has been paid to providers of Supported Accommodation.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The Department's Benefit Expenditure and Caseload outturn and forecast tables can be found in the ‘Housing Benefits’ sheet here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/benefit-expenditure-and-caseload-tables-2026.
Equivalent estimates are not available for earlier years due to historical data quality issues in the recording of supported accommodation cases.
