Flintshire Bond Scheme

Project summary

Working in partnership with YMCA Wales, the Flintshire Bond Scheme can help people who cannot afford the deposit when trying to rent property through private landlords. We can assist you with a non-cash deposit, help you complete your housing benefit form and ensure you know how much rent you must pay to the landlord.
