Supported housing saves the government up to £15,500 per person annually, but years of funding cuts mean providers are at breaking point and schemes are closing across the country. Without it, homelessness, NHS delays, and reoffending will rise.

New MHCLG stats show child #Homelessness & #RoughSleeping continue to soar:
164k kids in temp accommodation (up 16%)
4,667 people rough sleeping (up 20%)
This is no way to live or for a child to grow up - a result of years of cuts & policy failure

NHF welcomes govt's commitment to funding for homelessness services & prevention.
However without funding for #SupportedHousing the homelessness crisis will continue to worsen.
Ahead of the Spending Review, we’re calling on govt for ringfenced funding for housing related support.

Bex Clarke @ FPHA: Over 2000 people with a learning disability in mental health hospitals for an average of 4.9 years @ a cost of £1000 a day. A supported housing home would cost £5000 per year but there isnt enough #supportedhousing for people who need it #HousingCommunitySummit

We need ring-fenced funding to protect #supportedhousing
Ahead of the #AutumnStatement the NHF are calling for ring-fence funding to provide housing & support to all who need it.
That should be a key part of a long-term plan for #SupportedHousing that ensures everyone can live as independently as possible, in a home that meets their needs.
