Housing Benefit

Housing Benefit is money that can help you pay your rent if you are on a low income or need extra financial support. It is designed to make sure that you have a safe and secure place to live without worrying too much about how to cover the cost of rent. 

Who can get Housing Benefit?

You might be able to get Housing Benefit if:

  • You’re renting a property.
  • You’re on a low income or receiving certain benefits.
  • You’re living in supported housing or temporary accommodation. 

How does it work?

The amount of Housing Benefit you get depends on your income, rent, and personal situation.

  • If you live with other people, how much they earn might affect what you get.
  • If you are under 35 and live alone, you may only get help to cover the cost of a shared room.
