Supported housing
Valuation of land for affordable housing 2nd edition, April 2016, published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in 2016, defines supported housing as: ‘…accommodation provided for a specific client group to enable them to adjust to independent living or to enable them to live independently. The term supported housing applies to purpose-designed or designated supported housing.’
The London Plan, published by the Mayor of London in March 2016, suggests that supported housing refers to: ‘Homes in which vulnerable residents are offered a range of housing related support services to enable them to live independently.'
