Support charges
Housing related support is available to council tenants and people who live in their own homes. Claimants who have support charges included in their rent, such as emergency alarms, can apply for a Supporting People grant to pay for these charges. We will pay the grant directly to the organisation that provides your support.

Extra help to pay rent - discretionary housing payments
You may be entitled to a discretionary housing payment if you receive Housing Benefit and the benefit does not cover all of your eligible rent.
