Podcast: Alice Wright in conversation with Lisa Brown

Amid funding cuts and growing scrutiny from local authorities, the 2025 supported housing landscape is challenging—particularly for those not registered with the Regulator of Social Housing. But, as this podcast reveals, there are practical steps non-registered supported providers can take to navigate the sector’s complexity.

In this insightful episode of the Supported Living Property Podcast, host Lisa Brown sits down with Alice Wright, Head Of Homes at Havencare Homes and Support, to share practical advice and unpack:

  • Financial implications of being a non-registered provider
  • Building trust, credibility, and quality without regulation
  • Benefits and barriers involved in becoming a registered provider

Tune in to learn how Alice and Havencare Homes and Support navigate the complex world of supported housing as a non-registered provider. We hope our journey can help you on yours!
