I work in the mental health field as a nurse, and have harboured thoughts of setting up my own place for years. This year I decided to stop dreaming and attempt to turn it into reality. Last year, the Supporting People prgramme came into being. The aim is to offer vulnerable people the opportunity to improve their quality of life by providing a stable environment which enables greater independence. Private landlords can now take on the role of supporting people, by not only providing accomodation but also providing supportive services. This is what I would like to do. My aim is to start small and purchase a 4 bedroom house in which to house individuals with mental health problems, who are now ready to be integrated back into the community but will need ongoing support. Eventually, I would like to look at increasing the number of houses, and ultimately employing staff. But having searched the internet, I cannot find any information on where to start. Perhaps I'm keying in the wrong phrases, who knows. Any help would be appreciated. Ann
