Supported housing guidance for local authorities in England

max
MariaPCC 9 September 2025

In 2023-24 the shortage of supported housing cost the NHS £71 million through delayed mental health hospital discharges. Expanding provision has the potential to save up to £50 million a year for the NHS and a total annual saving of £6 billion for the wider public purse. The guidance has been developed to reflect the realities councils face in overseeing a complex and often fragmented supported housing market. It draws on examples of existing good practice and sets out clear steps that councils can take immediately, as well as actions to consider in the short, medium and long term.
