Housing Support

If you are struggling with housing, various services are available to provide support and guidance. Whether you're facing eviction, having difficulty paying rent, or need advice on finding a new home, help is available.

Who Can Help?

  • Your local council can provide housing advice.
  • Homelessness charities like Shelter offer valuable support.
  • The Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) can assist with legal and financial advice.

What is Housing Benefit?

Housing Benefit can help cover your rent if you're on a low income or claiming certain benefits. It is administered by your local council. However, many people now claim Universal Credit instead of Housing Benefit, depending on eligibility.
