Joint briefing on Supporting People
Homeless Link has launched a four page joint briefing for local authorities "4 facts, 4 questions about the future of Supporting People".
Written jointly with 13 other charities, including Crisis, National Housing Federation, Mind, Salvation Army and St Mungo's, it represents views from across health, social care, housing, homelessness, substance misuse and criminal justice. All 14 organisations share "a common concern that the services funded by Supporting People, which help transform the lives of these vulnerable people, are being put at risk".
The briefing aims to highlight the clear benefits of Supporting People services, and the questions that local authorities should consider when making decisions about them.
The document has been distributed to all local authorities and can be downloaded from the Homeless Link website 1.
