Supporting people

Supporting people is the name for the new Government programme from 1 April 2003.

Supporting people will provide support services to a wide range of vulnerable people. The supporting people programme is committed to ensuring that vulnerable people have the opportunity to live more independently.

Here are some examples of what local authorities are able to fund under supporting people:

• help older people remain in their own home as long as they wish to by funding visiting support services
• continue to provide services (eg wardens) in sheltered schemes
• help young people leaving care prepare for greater independence through training in basic skills such as cooking and hygiene
• help people leaving institutions (eg prison) or who have been homeless set up home
• provide on-going support for people adjusting to more independent living, if moving into their own home after living in a special housing and support scheme

Each administering Authority has written a Supporting People Strategy.

Mental Health Accommodation Strategy developed in partnership with Supporting People can be found on the documents page.
