Supporting People
Supporting People is a national programme that aims to enable adults with housing related support needs to live independently. This is done through different types of support such as sheltered housing; help with budgeting; developing social and life skills; understanding and managing a tenancy and accessing other services.
In Cheshire East the programme supports around 8,000 vulnerable adults, these could be older people, people with learning disabilities, teenage parents or people experiencing homelessness. Supporting People is a working partnership of local government, health, probation, support providers and service users.
