The Housing LIN has been commissioned to undertake a Supported Housing Needs Assessment in Dorset that will estimate the future need for a supported housing for a range of people with care and support needs. We will then be using this evidence to produce a Local Supported Housing Strategy, see the guidance here (opens new window).

This is a requirement under the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023 (SHROA).

Overview

As part of this project, we are inviting housing and support providers to share their views on the types of supporting housing that are needed in Dorset aligned to the 3 supported housing categories in the SHROA guidance, these are:

  • Older people’s supported housing
  • Long-term supported housing
  • Transitional supported housing

This workshop will focus on the need and demand for older people’s supported housing, including:

  • Retirement/sheltered housing
  • Extra care housing
