The Council is committed to ensuring that the needs of people who require extra help and support to gain and maintain their independence, or require housing with special features (such as disabled adaptations etc), are met appropriately. By working together with other agencies and services the Council continues to identify local needs, analyse gaps and drive improvements in standards.

Through partnerships with key agencies and organisations such as: Social Services, Community Mental Health Teams(CMHT), The National Probation Service and Housing Associations, the Council has developed the following support services for local people.

Most of the projects are financed under the Supporting People Programme, a national funding regime for the provision of housing related support. Decisions about how funding is allocated are made in accordance with the Oxfordshire Supporting People Strategy 2004 to 2009. The strategy has been formulated by the Supporting People Commissioning Body made up of representatives from the County Council, the District and City Councils, the Primary Care Trust and the National Probation Service.

Oxfordshire County Council are the Administering Authority for Supporting People. They monitor the quality of housing related support services as well as administering the payment of Supporting People grant to service providers.
