Private rented sector
Are you looking for somewhere to live?
The Private Rented Sector (PRS) can provide a sustainable home for people in housing need and Crisis works with local authorities and voluntary agencies to help them make best use of the PRS.
These organisations will help with tenancies in the private rented sector
Crisis has been working in this area since 1997 when it developed a best practice model for deposit schemes, Crisis SmartMove, which has helped over 13,000 people into accommodation. Find out more about Crisis SmartMove which is delivered by 28 partner projects around the UK.
We have also provided training, best practice resources and leading research into how the PRS can be used to alleviate homelessness.
National advisory service
With the backing and support of Communities and Local Government (CLG) we have embarked on a programme of work to help implement Action 1 of the Rough Sleeping Strategy No One Left Out and prevent homelessness amongst single people.
We also work in partnership with the Scottish Government. We provide information, advice and guidance to new and existing Private Rented Sector schemes.
We have developed a dedicated web resource to act as a gateway to information on the private rented sector. It collects the cumulative knowledge and experience of organisations that work with the private rented sector to prevent and tackle homelessness.
