The Supporting People Programme funds, monitors, reviews and commissions housing-related support services which are high quality, strategically relevant, cost effective and reliable.

The aim of the Supporting People programme and therefore housing related support services is, through the provision of support to:

Enable vulnerable people to maintain their independence

Prevent people from being homeless

Meet the needs of people who have experienced homelessness

Meet the needs of people who have been threatened with homelessness in the absence of housing related support and to maintain individuals tenancy and accommodation.

Housing related support services are complementary to a variety of existing care, support and mediation services, they should work alongside and co-operate with these services but also recognise that they are unique in the support that they provide.

Housing related support services will be led by the service users and be outcome focused.
