The Help with Rent team provides enhanced advice services for nine regions of Greater Manchester for the benefit of local citizens. Also known as the Local Housing Allowance Transition Team (LHATT), this service has been instrumental in helping previously denied applicants secure housing benefit and other aid necessary to cover basic living costs.
Tenants who have been unable to make their rent payments may be able to obtain the aid needed to make up for the shortage. A team adviser may be able to make the difference, even if they have been denied basic benefits before.
The Help with Rent team is funded by these authorities for use by their citizens:
The service is also funded by the Greater Manchester Single Homelessness Prevention Fund, which shares much of the costs with these nine participating local authorities.
Success stories are many, and the service has been able to rescue hundreds of clients from financial despair and prevent removal from their rented properties. Here are some situations where clients who faced a rental emergency were able to get help.
While the team is based in Stockport, there is no need for clients to make the hike. These advisers are on the road to meet clients wherever they are in Greater Manchester. This means that a client may need to wait only a few days for the service to make the next visit to their town.
To serve these locales, the team makes frequent visits with its Mobile Advice Centre so that clients do not need to travel far. In fact, it is on the road at a different location almost every weekday. To find out when advisers will be visiting, the upcoming schedule can be found by calling 0845 120 2093.
