Recommendation 11

DLUHC told us that the sector “is not working as well as it should” and that the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Bill, as it then was, would bring in important reforms.18 The Bill focused on exempt accommodation (mostly short-term supported housing that is exempt from locally set Housing Benefit caps) and include a range of measures that aim to drive out rogue providers and improve the quality of supported housing.19 Key stakeholders welcomed the intention of the Bill to raise standards in supported housing.20 The Bill received Royal Assent in June 2023 to become an Act of Parliament.
