| Annotation | From April 2000, the transitional Housing Benefit scheme will become the main source of funding through the benefit system for charges for support services. It will maintain stable funding for the support services during the transitional period to new long-term funding arrangements. From April 2003, funding streams for support services will be integrated into a single budget, called "Supporting People", to be administered by local authorities. This scheme will then finally replace the existing funding arrangements, including Housing Benefit, from April 2003. This leaflet provides an outline to these changes and signposts further guidance and information on the transitional arrangements contained in Circular A(47)/99 which is available from the DSS website at: http://www.dss.gov.uk or by phone on: 0171 712 2388 quoting the Circular reference number.
