Lower income residents of North Norfolk might otherwise succumb to the increasingly unaffordable average rent if it were not for the generous aid programmes in place. Each scheme serves a segment of the population that is at risk of homelessness or is already without a place to call home.
The Your Choice Your Home housing allocation scheme is the primary tool utilised by Council to link those without suitable housing to available vacancies. An Exception Housing Scheme applies for those enrolled on one of three housing registers to move up on the waitlist in certain circumstances.
Within the scheme, opportunities are available for alternative renting arrangements. These can include shared ownership and other strategies.
The Housing Options Team is committed to discussing these schemes as well as other forms of rental support. Advice is available through appointments as well as a drop in basis. Residents of North Norfolk may call 01263 516375 to speak with a Housing Options Team member who will be able to screen for rental aid and make necessary referrals.
One local organisation is committed to helping young people escape unaffordable rent and homelessness. The Benjamin Foundation supports programmes across North Norfolk district that serves young adults with rent problems.
Mancroft Advice Project (MAP) sends wellbeing advisers to The Atrium at North Walsham High School each week, though they are willing to travel to a closer location for those with travel needs. MAP helps young people deal with the harsh realities of paying rent and utilities. Help is available by calling 01603 766994.
