Supporting People

Supporting People is a government programme that funds support relating to housing.  This is known as housing-related support.

 

Housing-related support services aim to help people do things for themselves so that they can continue living at home, rather than go into hospital or residential care or risk becoming homeless.

 

The programme can also help people to make the transition from living in an institution to living independently.

 

Supporting People in Hertfordshire is administered by Hertfordshire County Council and funds many services including support to residents in sheltered housing for older people, supported housing and some community alarm services.
