The Supporting People programme was launched in April 2003 to help vulnerable people to gain and retain independence by remaining in their own home. Supporting People services can help prevent or defer more costly support services, such as residential or nursing home support, hospitalisation, or use of temporary accommodation. This study was commissioned by the Welsh Assembly Government to measure the costs and benefits of the Supporting People programme. The research combined desk-based literature reviews, stakeholder consultation and economic modelling. Data were collected on costs and numbers of service users in the financing year 2005-2006. The following client groups were looked at: women seeking refuge from domestic violence; people with learning disabilities; people with mental health problems; people with alcohol dependency; problem drug users; young single homeless and young people leaving care; ex-offenders; homeless or potentially homeless people; and older people. The modelled savings to the public purse were grouped into the following thematic areas: health; independent living; social care; homelessness; and crime. The total financial benefits as a result of Supporting People modelled in this study were £180,064,389. This compares to a total modelled spend of £107,091,845. It should be noted that the model adopts a cautious approach to estimating the impact of Supporting People on the public purse and the findings can be considered to be conservative.
