Joan Ruddock: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many supported housing places will be
needed to meet the 2003 target set for the Government's Teenage Pregnancy Programme; how many such places have already been and are
in the process of being provided; how many applications to provide new places have been received; and how many have been funded.

Mr. Robert Ainsworth: Although precise data are not available, we estimate that around 1,500 units of supported accommodation will
be needed to meet the Government target that by 2003 all teenage lone parents under 18 who cannot live with their family or partner
should be placed in supervised semi-independent housing with support rather than in an independent tenancy.
An audit of existing provision of supported accommodation for housing teenage parents undertaken by local authorities as part of the
2000 Housing Investment Programme identified between 4,000 and 5,000 units of accommodation as available for lone parents with
onsite or floating support, of which around two thirds (2,749 units) was available for teenage parents under 18 years of age.
However, it is doubtful whether all of this accommodation is located in line with need or is of sufficient quality to meet the
support requirements of teenage parents.
Local authorities are responsible for assessing the need for additional accommodation for teenage parents within their areas.
Currently 128 new units of accommodation for teenage parents are being funded through the Housing Corporation's Approved Development
Programme (ADP). Next year's Approved Development Programme includes 205 new units of accommodation. In addition under the new Safer
Communities Supported Housing Fund, £4 million has been allocated to provide 134 new units of accommodation for teenage parents and
bids have been received to provide floating support for nearly 200 units of accommodation. The Housing Corporation will be
announcing shortly the number of floating support bids, which it will be approving for funding in 2001-02.

Mr. Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what provision he has made for housing of
people aged 16 to 18 years in England. [149787]
Mr. Robert Ainsworth: We are determined to provide stronger support for people who become unintentionally homeless. We will extend
the groups of vulnerable homeless people who have a priority need for accommodation to include 16 and 17-year-olds, and care leavers
aged 18 to 21. We will make these changes shortly by order under section 189 of the 1996 Housing Act.
We are also concerned to improve the provision and management of supported housing for young people. The new supporting people
programme will come into effect in 2003-04, providing an integrated policy and funding framework for support services for vulnerable
households, including young people. Additionally, we will provide £120 million capital funding for a new safer communities supported
housing fund, together with associated revenue support of £17 million, to provide new housing and support for young people at risk,
and other vulnerable people.
