Supporting People
Charging for housing support
This charging policy is about paying towards supported
housing. It tells you the main points and how to get other
information that you may need.
Supporting People want to make sure that the charging policy is
fair and shows clearly who pays for support.
Supporting People work together with organisations who:
- Provide services like housing support and voluntary
organisations
- Pay for the services like the local council and government
departments

Some people pay towards housing support and some do
not.
People who do not pay
- People who do not earn much money and do not have savings of
£22,250 or more
- People who get housing benefit
- People who are getting housing support for less than 2 years
and it is helping the person to live more independently (this is
called short term housing)

| There are different ways that people pay towards their housing
support. This is different for each
person. |

their support.

ask for it to be done again.
