Information for Service Users
This page in intended for people that currently receive, or are interested in receiving housing support in their own homes.
What is housing support?
Housing support means support offered by services such as:
- The warden and alarm service in sheltered housing
- Hostels and supported housing schemes
- Tenancy support workers who visit regularly to help with things like keeping to the tenancy, managing money and living independently
These are all services that should make it possible for people who need extra help to live independently in their own home.
We have created links, below, to pages we think might be of interest to you.
- We want to involve service users at all levels of the Supporting People programme in Sheffield. Our Service User Engagement pages include information about how we involve service users in Supporting People locally. This section includes work carried out on our behalf by Voluntary Action Sheffield on the Service User Engagement Project.
- In some services, people who get the support might have to pay. You can find out more on our Finance and payments pages.
