Supported Housing and Homelessness group

This key strategic group exists to shape the NHF's work on supported housing and homelessness. In particular, the group:

  • Supports the NHF’s work to improve the operating environment for providers, including influencing NHF Spending Review submissions relating to funding for supported housing and homelessness services.
  • Acts as an expert steering group on NHF policy priorities, including the Supported Housing Regulatory Oversight Act.
  • Feeds into any consultations and calls for evidence on supported housing and homelessness work.
  • Work with officials across government to influence key pieces of work, including HMT’s Value for Money review and the implementation of the homelessness strategy.
  • Share best practice and horizon scan to identify challenges facing supported housing providers and share potential solutions.
