The Townhall Lettings Access Scheme

Project summary

The Townhall Lettings Access Scheme assists you with the cost of moving into privately-rented accommodation. We can provide an interest-free loan to cover the rent deposit and (if necessary) the first month’s rent. There is also help through a deposit bond scheme.

The Single Homelessness Service aims to help find suitable stable accommodation and it can signpost clients into the Townhall Lettings Access Scheme.
