The Council currently manages 575 sheltered
housing units. The management of these schemes is partially funded
via Supporting People (a budget administered by Lancashire County
Council). The existing management arrangements are in need of
review as they don't currently provide sufficient flexibility to
enable the Council to consistantly meet individual tenants' Support
Plans.
