Examples of the type of support funded through Supporting People are:

• Help in setting up and maintaining a home
• Help in establishing personal safety and security (including alarm systems)
• Emotional support, and advice
• Supervision and monitoring of health and well-being
• Help in developing social skills and managing behaviour
• Assistance with money matters benefit claims & resettlement support
• Advice, advocacy and liaison with statutory agencies
• Assistance for young care leavers, homeless people and those leaving institutions
• Helping people prepare for greater independence through training in basic life skills

The Supporting People team deals directly with local housing-related support providers, advice agencies and planning groups. Service users should contact local housing support schemes directly.
