Rhys Matthews, who has lived in various supported housing, described it as "the worst place I've ever lived," highlighting the detrimental impact of poor standards and lack of oversight.
The Supported Housing Act aims to set standards for supported housing providers; however, the government has not initiated the necessary consultations or established an advisory panel, affecting vulnerable residents.
Despite the passage of the Supported Housing Act last June, the government has delayed implementation and consultation, leaving many in disgraceful living conditions as landlords exploit the lack of regulation.
A housing spokesperson assured commitment to consulting on further measures, but as of now, vulnerable individuals are still without proper support and living in unacceptable situations.
