Johnnie Johnson Housing Support ...

Working in partnership with Johnnie Johnson Housing Trust (JJHT), Tung Sing undertook a research project into the housing needs of elders in Manchester’s Chinese community. The project identified that elders would benefit from culturally sensitive support services to help them secure, and then settle into, sheltered accommodation. We proposed that we could provide the necessary support, which would also help to address the sheltered housing void problem around the City. Manchester’s Supporting People Team agreed, and towards the end of 2006 we were delighted when we secured an expansion of our Elderly BME Floating Support Service from 8 to 30 service users
