The Tenancy Hardship Grant is designed to support people who have fallen behind on their rent by more than eight weeks between 1 March 2020 and 30 June 2021.
The grant is designed to help people stay in their homes and prevent them losing their tenancies.
People living in private rented accommodation who have developed rent arrears as a direct result of the pandemic may be eligible for the grant. Rent arrears may have been the result of a loss of income due to furlough, a reduction in work or because they were only able to claim Statutory Sick Pay when ill with Covid-19.
The grant, which will be administered by local authorities, will be open to people who are not receiving housing-related benefits.
People who are eligible can register their interest with their local authority immediately and grants will be processed from mid-July.
