COVID-19 – Advice on getting financial support
In these difficult times, we know that many people are likely to have financial problems. Here are some links that will help you work out what financial support is available.
Once you have worked out what support you can get, you may still have concerns about paying your rent. Please get in touch with us if you are worried, or you would like to discuss an arrangement for paying your rent. You can contact us by sending an email to your income management officer (or phone them). If you don’t have an income management officer, call us on 0300 300 8042.
