We understand that managing your finances can sometimes feel overwhelming—especially when unexpected costs arise or your income changes. If you're finding it difficult to stay on top of things and would prefer to speak to someone other than your Income Officer, you're not alone—and there is support available.
Our Income and Tenancy Sustainment Team is here to help you take control of your finances and feel more confident about your money. Whether you're worried about rent, juggling bills, or unsure what benefits you might be entitled to, our team can guide you in the right direction.
We also work closely with a number of trusted organisations that offer free, confidential advice on debt, benefits, budgeting, and more. These services are here to empower you with the tools and knowledge to make informed decisions and sustain your tenancy.
