Details

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities provided £5.4 million to 5 local authorities (Birmingham, Blackburn with Darwen, Blackpool, Bristol and Hull) to test ways of improving quality and value for money in supported housing.

These pilots ran from October 2020 to September 2021 and tested interventions to raise standards of accommodation and support and improve local authority oversight of the local supported housing market.

The evaluation of the supported housing pilots sets out the findings from the local authorities’ activities and makes a set of recommendations to improve quality and value for money in supported housing.
