Abstract

The provision of supported housing is vital to the work of the National Probation Service as it seeks to reduce re‐offending and protect the public. Supporting People offers an opportunity for Probation to play a key role in developing supported housing services locally. Probation's experience in contracting for supported housing services for offenders means it is well placed to contribute to the work of the Supporting People team. There remain many issues to be resolved. Only recognition of the legitimacy of offender needs within Supporting People and in wider housing allocation and management policies will make Probation's investment in the process pay off.
