Progress to improve supported housing supply remains poor, falling below targets.
Conclusion
Progress to improve the supply of supported housing is poor. While DLUHC uses the Affordable Homes Programme to support development of more supported housing, it reported it is only forecast to achieve 5% of supported housing from the 2021–2026 iteration of the Affordable Homes Programme against a target of 10% (between 15,700 and 16,000 new housing units in England, including London).10 DLUHC described how it has tried to increase the supply of supported housing through other programmes and funding for specific groups of vulnerable people such as victims of domestic abuse and rough sleepers.11
