Coming Home funding can be used in a variety of ways to support independent living including:
- care and support arrangements
- discharge planning, transitional and short-term costs related to enabling someone to move from hospital or other care settings
- additional support to enable individuals to remain in their own homes
- addressing practical barriers to discharge from hospital or other care settings
Limits on using the funding
ILF Scotland Coming Home funding is designed to complement, not replace, support provided by local authorities and other statutory bodies.
We will not normally fund the cost of support or services that are the responsibility of the local authority or another public body such as:
- medical or nursing care
- residential care costs
- everyday living costs such as food or clothing
- large-scale capital investment such as buildings or developments
