Through our policies, including the Supported Housing programme and Disabled Facilities Grant programme, my department is helping those in society get the help and support they need to live independently and be part of their communities.

Our Near Neighbours, and Community-based English Language programmes will also help to reduce loneliness in target populations through their work.
