Adults Supported Housing Market Position Statement August 2024

The Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act became law on 29 August 2023. This new legislation affects supported housing providers by setting a framework for the supported housing and older person's housing sector. If you are a supported housing provider, you need to be aware of the new regulations linked to the Act2. The Support Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023 aims to tackle poor quality supported housing and protect residents. Consultation on how the Act will be implemented is expected during 2024. 

The Act will introduce new systems for: 

• licensing by local authorities
• standards for support
• obligations on local authorities to develop strategic supported housing plans

We will update this statement once further information regarding the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023 has been released by the Government.
