HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE 👋 Did you know that Support Solutions is immensely successful in securing enhanced Housing Benefit revenue for non-profit providers of housing support and social care. We are the UK’s best known and most successful organisation involved in assisting our clients to enhance their levels of Housing Benefit entitlement through the Exempt Accommodation rules and the provision of Intensive Housing Management services to people with additional needs. The work that we have done has enabled very many organisations to maintain, develop and enhance the services they provide to people with additional needs. In the face of a very challenging funding environment this has become an alternative means of funding supported housing. In November 2016 the UK Government announced that it had quantified the amount of enhanced Housing Benefit being paid in the UK; it amounts to £2.12bn pa. This funds Intensive Housing Management. Support Solutions UK has been instrumental in creating that pot of money to help with funding supported housing. In August 2018 the UK Government confirmed that funding for supported housing (including sheltered and extra care housing) will continue to be met through the welfare benefits system. This is a vindication of the approach we’ve taken since 2005 of reinventing Intensive Housing Management and ensuring that eligible costs are met by enhanced Housing Benefit. We work in such a way as to ensure that the interests of local authority funders are prioritised at the same time as enhancing the revenue our provider clients need to provide services to people with additional needs. This applies to supported and sheltered housing and general needs accommodation. We have authored and published numerous Briefings on Exempt Accommodation, Intensive Housing Management & funding supported housing and we frequently run well-attended and highly regarded learning and development events and conferences on this and related issues. Negotiating enhanced Housing Benefit for Intensive Housing Management remains a key part of what we do. It is very much in the interests of people with additional needs, the Providers that work with them and the local authorities within which they work to ensure that reasonable, well-founded enhanced Housing Benefit claims are made where appropriate & eligible. To enquire please contact us directly. One of the key features of our service is that we only charge if we achieve an increase in Housing Benefit revenue.

Who listened to the Labour speeches in Liverpool last week❓️ If you are a social housing provider did you note the reinstatement by net zero secretary Ed Miliband of the 2030 target to bring all rented homes up to a minimum level of Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Band C by 2030. What does this statement mean ❓️ The announcement reinstates an earlier target for minimum energy efficiency standards that was scrapped by Rishi Sunak and extends it to social and private rented homes. It will have major implications, given that the costs of retrofitting social housing alone far exceed Labour’s scaled-back plans for green grants and loans. Without a boost, this could accelerate the sell-off of older private rented stock and encourage social landlords to consolidate theirs, at the same time as it focuses their attention even more on improving their existing homes rather than building new ones. How can we help ❓️ If you are needing help with Energy Performance in your properties then give us a call. We work closely with experts in this area that have assisted many social housing providers throughout the UK. ☎01325 487080 Danny Key Steven Walton MBA Guy Bosanko Paul Foxton CMaPS

Are you a Housing Association? Did you know that The Procurement Act that was due to come into force on 28th October, has now been put back until 24 February 2025.    In a House of Commons statement last week, Georgia Gould, parliamentary secretary at the Cabinet Office, said the delay was to allow the government to draw up a new National Procurement Policy Statement (NPPS) to replace the document produced by the previous administration.    The NPPS will now sit alongside the Procurement Act and set out the government’s strategic priorities on procurement delivery. #housingassociations #socialhousing #sectornews

The game ebbed and flowed with Darlington coming out victorious in a well fought 3-2 victory. Well done boys. Proud for the Support Solutions team to sponsor such a talented bunch of boys. Looking forward to the next one 👍 #football #sponsorship #jpl
