Supporting People programme

Supporting People programme

A UK government programme for funding, planning and monitoring housing-related support services by staffing hostels for the homeless and providing support workers in group homes for people with learning disabilities. Its aim is to improve the quality and effectiveness of the support services at a local level. These services may be provided by sheltered housing wardens who help with clients’ daily needs, but do not provide personal care; Supporting People programmes help vulnerable people maintain independence or become more independent.
