Through the Green Paper, we are seeking to gather evidence on the impact of the important role that many social landlords are playing.</p><p>Within social housing and more widely, supported housing provides a vital service for vulnerable people, including people with mental health issues. Safeguarding provision and supply of appropriate supported accommodation is a priority for my Department - and we will continue to provide capital grant funding to promote new supply of supported housing. Our recent announcement confirming that funding for all supported housing will stay in Housing Benefit, will also give confidence to the sector to continue to invest in new supply. We are also reviewing oversight arrangements for all supported housing. As a Government, we are investing record levels in mental health, spending £11.98 billion in 2017/18.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 18/10/2018 13:05:21 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
