What happened: Despite the Supported Housing Act receiving royal assent over two years ago, vulnerable people in England continue to live in unsafe supported housing due to delays in implementing necessary regulations.
Why it matters:
- Delays put vulnerable residents at risk of harm and death in unregulated accommodation.
- Communities suffer long-term damage from inadequate housing conditions and lack of oversight.
MNN Take: The law aims to regulate supported housing to improve safety and standards, but without timely regulations, the intended protections remain unfulfilled.
