answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2022 answer text <p>Most supported housing providers are part of the social housing sector. Data shows that in 2021, only 2.3% of registered social housing landlord owned stock was non-decent (<a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fstatistical-data-sets%2Flive-tables-on-dwelling-stock-including-vacants&amp;data=04%7C01%7CParliamentary%40levellingup.gov.uk%7Cd2cc1d7c53394344c54f08d9fd4036df%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637819274498762481%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=N7NOZsIOwGwrXclzp1WfPp%2FgR4tUc1E9smNlfxlpVuY%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-dwelling-stock-including-vacants</a> ). My department engages with local authorities, sector bodies and published independent research to understand issues with the quality of accommodation and support. In particular, we look to local authorities, as they are best placed to know their local supported housing markets, to identify problems with poor quality provision. We have learned a lot through the year-long pilots we have run, backed by £5.4 million of investment, in some of the areas of the country facing the most acute challenges. A core part of the pilots' work was to assess both accommodation standards, and also the support provided to tenants to ensure it was sufficient and tailored. The independent evaluation of the pilots will be published as soon as possible.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 03/03/2022 18:40:16 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes
