Support our residents

We want to support the ambitions of our residents in less affluent areas to improve their lives and communities. We believe that physical, social and economic regeneration will support this.

Welcome to the housing pages of our website

Kensington and Chelsea is one of the most popular and expensive places to live in the UK. We have developed these pages to provide you with the best possible advice on the housing options available.

Employment and Training Survey: Would you like to help shape the type of training and employment opportunities available to you and your household? If you are a social housing tenant in Kensington and Chelsea, we would like to hear your views on the type of support and services that could benefit you and your local community. Have your say by completing a short survey online by 31 May 2012. Your input will help us to ensure that information and support is targeted where it is needed most.

From April 2013, the Government will put a limit on the amount of benefit that people aged 16 to 64 can get. This is called a benefit cap. The benefit cap means that people should not get more in benefit payments than the average wage paid to people in work. There is more information on the Directgov website.

If you would like to find out information on how to save energy or reduce your waste, there are some helpful hints on our climate change pages.
