Overview & Agenda

In this special HAPPI Hour session in celebration of National Co-production Week 2025, we shine a spotlight on supported housing and explore how individuals living in supported housing are gaining a stronger voice in their housing choices.

With the recent enactment of the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight Act) 2023 and the government consultation (opens new window) on implementation measures (closed on 15 May), this webinar provides valuable insights into the latest national developments in supported housing. We also showcase inspiring examples of new supported housing projects, examining how they were commissioned and developed, and the transformative impact they’ve had on residents’ lives.

The Housing LIN is also proud to support the National Housing Federation’s Save our Supported Housing campaign.
