In 2009 the Government removed the ringfence on supported housing funding and the present government has maintained funding levels in cash terms. But while some boroughs have maintained full funding levels, other boroughs are cutting commissioned services by up to 40%, with an average budget cut across London of 11.5% in 2011/12. How are you using your influence with boroughs to ensure that the provision of supported housing is still meeting the needs of vulnerable tenants and is being protected from disproportionate cuts across London?
