Emergency rent assistance is provided through a number of agencies that serve the borough of Rochdale. Each agency has specific qualifications that applicants must meet in order to be considered for aid. Many agencies collaborate to cover a number of needs so that a tenant gets help with all of their needs during a financial crisis.
For example, there is a preference that applicants for emergency rental aid payments first undergo budgeting advice. Tenants who have taken the initiative to review all available options including to put their own spending under the microscope having much higher chance of getting approved for emergency aid.
In order to reduce homelessness and prevent evictions in Rochdale these organisations are prepared to take action. Instead of hiding from the landlord, tenants are encouraged to address their problems without delay so that a proper solution may be found and implemented before it’s too late.
Successful attempts to obtain rental assistance often start with a free money advice session. Each adviser is trained to review your situation to determine the nature and scope of your rent issues. When outside intervention is necessary to rescue a tenant from eviction, the adviser can help with applications for aid through government and charity providers.
