Support for Living? provides a critical analysis of the impact the UK's Supporting People program has had on housing and support for people with learning disabilities. The report explores not only the implications for commissioners of social care and provider organizations, but also the outcomes for service users.

It identifies a range of frameworks for delivering housing and support, and demonstrates how these relate to differing outcomes for services users. The book questions whether the principles of supported living have in some cases been diluted in the rush to access a new source of funding. (REPORT)
