Ms Caroline Timmons:

It provides a lot of different services. I understand it has tea rooms, an arts and culture centre and so on. A lot of volunteers are engaged in that particular project. I am not familiar with how the project is funded so I will not comment on it specifically, but I will say we have been looking for an exemplar project to tell us how to keep these projects going in future. I believe St. Michael's will tell us quite a bit about how properly to fund housing with supports. Both Departments will probably be involved in that. We do a lot as regards putting the infrastructure in place and building the actual housing. Wrap-around supports need to be put in afterwards and the AHB needs to keep it going. In the case of St. Michael's, that AHB will be Circle Voluntary Housing Association and ALONE, which will be acting as the support. It will be interesting to see if that model will come through as the preferred model for doing this in future because I do not have an answer for the Deputy today as to how it should work. It is definitely something we want to explore as we move forward. Perhaps Ms Larthwell would like to comment on this matter as well.
