Paying for your support
The council may pay for all or some of your support directly to the provider. We offer 2 types of services:
- Short-term support is free for not more than 2 years – for example, a homeless hostel for people to get support before they move on to their own home
- Long-term support is for more than 2 years – you may have to pay towards this but it will depend on your income, and we can also give you financial help if you cannot afford to pay
