Oldham Council works with supported exempt accommodation providers to make sure vulnerable residents have safe, good‑quality and sustainable housing. The Gateway process sets the minimum standards organisations must meet before operating in the borough.
What the Gateway ensures
- Residents are safe and well supported
- Services are stable and consistently high quality
- Governance, finances and property standards can be checked
- Provision meets local needs and legal responsibilities
The Gateway applies to new and existing providers and is a key part of the Council’s checks.
Submitting a compliant property helps ensure safe, stable accommodation for people who rely on exempt supported housing and supports stronger communities across Oldham.
