Supporting People funding

Supporting People is a locally managed and delivered programme with local eligibility criteria and the decision on services funded and delivered by the programme is a matter for the Local Authority.

Under the existing Grant Conditions, SP funding can be used to provide housing related support services to A2 nationals, but this will be subject to them meeting any local eligibility criteria in place and availability of services.

Where the individual has no recourse to public funds, e.g. not eligible for Housing Benefit, they may still access housing related support services if they meet the local eligibility criteria - but SP cannot be used to pay for accommodation costs.
