NHF – Supported Housing in Challenging Times
6th December 2016 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
12:00pm – 2:00pm, 6 December 2016
SHINE, Harehills Road, Leeds, LS8 5HS
FREE
This is clearly a challenging time for supported housing providers, who are continuing to meet the needs of their communities and clients in the face of significant uncertainty around the future funding model for supported housing, as well as challenging commissioning and partnering structures, and the impact of pressures related to the wider housing crisis and growing demand for services and support.
This seminar will bring together policy experts from both the National Housing Federation and the wider policy arena, those involved in commissioning of support services, and housing associations from across Yorkshire and Humber to look at the latest developments in the external environment and innovations in service delivery. There will also be the opportunity to discuss the Government’s proposals for the future funding of supported and sheltered housing and give your views on the Government’s consultation, which is expected to be published shortly.
