  There are some good projects and schemes for people needing that extra bit of support, as Sue indicates. It is an investment for the community, in terms of creating contributors to society and supporting the development of productive adults, to encourage these projects and not jump on them before they have even started. People can be very prejudiced. I once set up, from scratch, a complex of flats for people with learning disabilities and physical disabilities. Charming people who simply needed a bit of extra support to maintain independence and Have A Life. Many times when I was on the building site I had people rush up to me and without asking any questions about the site yelled at me that they didn't want "all those drug addicts and vagrants" living there. Apart from the flagrant discourtesy, it was so far from the actual truth to be laughable. But those people were objecting to the council on those false grounds and making such a fuss that other people were becoming anxious and complaining. Sad.
