Supporting people - costs

How much will services cost me?

You do not have to pay for Supporting People support if:

  • You receive housing benefit
  • You need support for a short time (up to two years)

The Supporting People team pays the provider of services directly for the support they provide.

How to get help and support

If you need support that is planned for more than two years and do not receive Housing Benefit, you may have to pay towards this. A financial assessment will be carried out to find out how much you may have to pay, towards the cost of your support.

The service providing your support will help you with this or ring the Supporting People team, using the contact details on this page, and ask for a Fairer Charging leaflet.

Use the link below to find out more about the various ways of getting help and support on the services that are available to you.
