What is housing related support (supporting people)?

Supporting People is a government programme that aims to help people live more independently and to maintain their accommodation. It also funds organisations to provide housing related support.

A wide range of vulnerable people receive housing related support funded services, including:

• people with mental ill health
• people with learning disabilities
• homeless people and families
• young people
• teenage parents
• people with drug or alcohol problems
• people at risk of domestic violence
• travellers
• ex-offenders or people at risk of offending.
