“Intensive Housing Management and Maintenance are Support, Supervision and Sufficient”

New thinking in supported housing

“Intensive Housing Management and Maintenance are Support, Supervision and Sufficient”.

This note sets out the key case law underpinning a practical and defensible position for supported housing providers: that “Intensive housing management and maintenance are support, supervision and sufficient.” Remember where you heard that first!

This is in circumstances where supported housing providers are often told by DWP and revenues and benefits colleagues that “care, support or supervision are not HB-eligible”, and that Intensive housing management and maintenance are not sufficient on their own. This isn’t true.
