Supporting People was introduced in Northern Ireland in April 2003. Since then the programme has represented a major investment in housing support services here. The overarching aim of Supporting People Strategy 2005-2010 was to commission housing support services to improve the quality of life and independence of vulnerable people.
Supporting People Strategy 2011-2015
In the 6th edition of the Spotlight newsletter, reference was made to the pre-consultation process around the development of the new housing support strategy 2011– 2014/15. SP wish to thank everyone who engaged in the pre-consultation work.
In January 2012, DSD asked that finalisation of the new strategy be postponed pending the outcome of the review of the SP Commissioning Body. When available we will update on developments with this.
