YOU HAVE NOWHERE TO LIVE !

But you are not thought to be vulnerable under the Homeless rules.

Housing Options Team at Hambleton may be able to assist you with a Bond to enable you to secure a private rented property. Bond Application Forms can be obtained from Hambleton District Council Offices.

What the Housing Benefits Section CAN do to help:

 provide advice on your entitlement to Housing Benefit.

 deal with your claim for entitlement as quickly as possible. You will need ...... to help us by giving us all the information we need as quickly as possible...... This will include proof of your income, rent payable and proof of your ...... identity. If you have no identification or are having difficulty obtaining ...... ID you should contact the Housing Section and ask for details of the Safe ...... Document Scheme

 if you agree, we shall tell a landlord that we have received a benefit claim ...... from you

 if you are awarded Housing Benefit but there is a shortfall between the ...... amount Housing Benefit can pay you and the rent you have to pay you can ...... apply for a Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP).

15 The Housing Benefits Section CANNOT:

secure accommodation for you – if you are not vulnerable under  the homeless rules, it is your responsibility to do this and your responsibility to satisfy the landlord that he/she will be paid for your accommodation

make promises to a landlord about benefit entitlement (this is because  the Government requires us to carry out many checks on a claim before entitlement can be confirmed)

 help with any bond or rent in advance (in a limited number of circumstances the DWP may help with this).

Have you considered other places to stay?

In the short term it is often possible for a friend or relative to put you up. This will give you “breathing space” while you look for a cheaper permanent place to live.
