<p>The Government recognises the importance of meeting the housing needs of disabled,
older and other vulnerable people including those with autism, and we keep under regular
review how we can achieve this. <br> <br> We have strengthened the revised National
Planning Policy Framework so that local planning authorities are expected to have
planning policies which identify the size, type and tenure of homes required for different
groups in the community including disabled and older people, and we will shortly be
consulting on improving accessibility standards for new homes. <br> <br> We are also
working with the social housing sector to boost new supply of much needed supported
accommodation for disabled and older people.</p>
