Mr Roger Godsiff: To ask the Secretary of State for
Communities and Local Government, if he will meet providers of (a) supported
housing and (b) specified housing to discuss the effect of the proposed change to social rents on the viability of those
types of housing.
Brandon Lewis: We welcome the opportunity to engage with
the supported housing sector to understand how the sector’s views can best be
accommodated as we implement our policy. Ministers and officials have been discussing this
issue with the National Housing Federation and a number of providers. We plan to except
specialised supported housing, residential care homes, nursing homes and
PFI-funded Extra Care housing from the rent reductions. We are continuing to
work with the sector on this issue to ensure the most vulnerable are protected.
