Housing benefit can help you pay your rent if you’re unemployed, on a low income or claiming other benefits.
It’s being replaced by Universal Credit so you can only make a new claim if either of the following apply:
- you have reached state pension age
- you’re in supported, sheltered or temporary housing
Register for an account or log in to apply.
If you are currently living outside the borough, apply here .
For all other claimants see Housing costs and Universal Credit .
