Housing Benefit

Housing Benefit is a government financial assistance program designed to help individuals and families pay their rent. It is primarily aimed at low-income individuals, including those on benefits or low wages. The amount you can receive depends on your income, savings, and the rent amount. Housing Benefit can cover a portion of your rent, making housing more affordable. It is available in various forms, including for private tenants, social housing tenants, and people living in supported housing. In some countries, it has been replaced or supplemented by other forms of financial support, such as Universal Credit.
