Vulnerable people still living in unsafe supported housing in England two years after law was passed

Charities and MP Bob Blackman urge government to implement law to tackle scandal of exempt' accommodation

People are dying in unsafe accommodation and communities are being irreversibly damaged due to delays to a new law to clamp down on unregulated supported housing in England.

It has been more than two years since the Supported Housing Act, a private member's bill brought by the Conservative MP Bob Blackman, that applies to England and Wales, was given royal assent but it has yet to be implemented due to delays in creating the regulations.
