Annotation	The Supporting People programme offers vulnerable people the opportunity to improve their quality of life through greater independence. It promotes housing-related services which are reliable and efficient, and which complement existing care services. This document takes forward the policy and describes how local authorities and their partners will turn the "Policy into Practice" at a local level. Services for older people form a major part of the Supporting People programme, in terms of numbers of people receiving services, and the document sets out how services will be delivered, including: the needs of black and minority ethnic elders; access to sheltered housing; and the role of home improvement agencies (HIAs).
