Help for council tenants
Rent Support Fund
We have launched the Rent Support Fund to help social housing tenants struggling with rent payments during the cost of living crisis.
The Rent Support Fund has been created specifically to help those in financial difficulty. The money will be used to cover some or all of the upcoming rent increases for households who are not entitled to Universal Credit or Housing Benefit. Tenants who are eligible for full or partial benefits will receive the full rebate in their Housing Benefit or Universal Credit payments.
