The Government has published the consultation on implementing measures set out in the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023. 

The proposals in the consultation include the introduction of a locally led licensing regime for supported housing in England and new National Standards for support.  

The consultation also seeks views on potentially linking Housing Benefit to the licensing regime in England, to new or existing frameworks in Scotland and Wales and defining care, support and supervision in Housing Benefit regulations in England, Scotland and Wales.  

This consultation is an opportunity for providers, residents and stakeholders to help design an effective regulatory system that ensures supported housing delivers the support people need.

This consultation closes at 11:59pm on 15 May 2025
