If you require assistance with housing-related issues such as rent, deposits, moving costs, essential repairs, or adaptations, we can provide support. We can help with rent deposits and rent for those at risk of homelessness. We may also challenge tenancy terminations or Local Authority decisions. Additionally, we can cover moving expenses and provide essential furniture, appliances, or carpets. For property repairs or adaptations, financial aid may be available. Individuals with disabilities can seek financial assistance from their local councils. The Affordable Warmth Scheme supports central heating installations and boiler replacements, with possible additional grants. Special housing options are available for RAF personnel with life-changing injuries. Eligibility can be determined through an eligibility checklist, and support applications can be made online or via phone for different funding amounts.
