Get in Touch Supporting People funding
There are some changes ahead for Supporting People funding - the money which pays for housing-related support services for many elderly or vulnerable residents.
For some years now the government has been channelling funds to local councils under its Supporting People programme. That money has been used by councils to pay for housing related support services for elderly or other vulnerable people, provided by housing associations or similar agencies. The money has provided much needed extra financial support for residents of our sheltered housing who also qualify for housing benefit.
The Supporting People funds we get from Surrey and West Sussex County Councils and Brighton & Hove City Council help to pay for services that we know are highly valued by our sheltered housing residents. The government has recently lifted the ringfence which means local councils can, if they want, now spend the Supporting People funds on other services they consider a priority.
We are currently in talks with all three councils to find out how our budgets might be affected and to try to minimise any possibly fallout for our schemes and our residents. We very much want to continue delivering the services and support so many older residents need. In due course we will let all our sheltered residents know the outcome of these discussions and what, if any, impact this might have for them.
In the meantime please contact us should you have any questions about this matter.
