Enfield Council Exempt Supported Accommodation Strategy
Enfield Council is implementing its strategy to improve supported accommodation for vulnerable homeless individuals.
Enfield Council's Cabinet approved its Exempt Supported Accommodation Strategy in March 2026, aiming to improve quality and availability for vulnerable single homeless individuals. The strategy, which includes a Commissioning Framework, seeks to address concerns about provider oversight, inflated costs, and insufficient support in existing accommodation.
To achieve its goals, the strategy will introduce a preferred provider status, requiring providers to meet stringent minimum standards. This initiative is intended to meet local needs and reduce the council's reliance on expensive temporary accommodation. No further discussions or decisions are currently scheduled.
