Housing Benefit

Housing Benefit helps you pay part, or all, of your rent if you’re unemployed, on a low income or applying for benefits.

You can only apply for Housing Benefit to Kensington and Chelsea if:

• you have reached State Pension age 
• you live in sheltered or supported accommodation
• you live in temporary accommodation (you have been housed by the Council in temporary accommodation because you were homeless).

If not, you’ll need to apply for Universal Credit instead.

You can make an application for Housing Benefit online.
