Housing Payments
Help with rent shortfalls through Housing Payments provided by the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF).
Overview
Housing Payments provide financial support for residents who receive Housing Benefit or Universal Credit housing costs. They help people facing shortfalls in rent or other eligible housing costs and replace Discretionary Housing Payments (DHP).
Housing Payments can help to:
- cover shortfalls in rent
- prevent arrears or homelessness
- support residents to maintain stable housing during financial difficulty
