| Annotation | Under the Supporting People Programme, low-level 'floating' support is available to help vulnerable people live independently in their own accommodation. There is a good deal of research to indicate that this sort of support - particularly in social housing - is effective in helping people to sustain their tenancies, and that their well-being and self-esteem are improved as a result. However, there is little empirical evidence on the overall health impact of support. As part of a broader evaluation of a floating support service, this longitudinal study used the SF-36 health questionnaire, complemented by in-depth interviews, and found evidence of health gain.
