Supporting People programme provided councils with ring-fenced funding for people struggling to live independently.
Although the 2018/19 budget shows a distinct budget line in the housing policy department for the
Supporting People Programme at PS124.4m, this has disappeared in the budget for 2019/20.

As a result, the proposed budget for 2012/13 focuses on delivering modern, efficient services that make the best use of council taxpayers' money and includes: - investing almost pounds 3.5 billion in improving the lives of citizens through services identified as important; - not changing the eligibility criteria for adult social care, which means those with substantial and critical needs will continue to receive care; - reducing further savings from the
Supporting People programme for the most vulnerable in the city from pounds 3.8 million to pounds 1.9 million; - not making a proposed further reduction of pounds 0.5 million to the Youth Service; and, - continuing to support important community events.
