answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>Supported housing is an invaluable service for vulnerable people across the country.

The review will give us a fuller picture into how housing-related support is provided for supported housing across England.</p><p>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why this summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy. This sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 21/12/2018 13:41:29 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

tabling member printed	Lord Beecham
uin	HL12276
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>A Justice Impact Test was prepared to accompany the Housing and Planning Act 2016 to support the Ministry of Justice in its planning. At that time it was estimated that local authorities could enter up to 5,000 rogue landlords and property agents onto the database, including up to 600 (12%) mandatory entries for those in receipt of a banning order and so banned from letting. The government does not have a current estimate of the number of rogue landlords but expects the number to be decreasing because of the strong enforcement powers that we have introduced since 2015 to enable local authorities to drive criminal landlords out of the market.</p><p>There are no entries to date on the database. This was expected as an offence must have been committed on or after 6 April 2018, a conviction secured and the period for an appeal passed, before an offender’s details can be listed on the database.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 21/12/2018 13:42:15 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
