Local Housing Allowance Safeguard Policy
Local Housing Allowance Safeguard Policy
The aims and objectives of this policy are to:
- provide a safeguard for the most vulnerable tenants and reassure them that their benefit and rent will be paid
- help prevent rent arrears and tenants being put at risk of eviction
- help sustain tenancies for vulnerable tenants
- reassure landlords that their rent will be paid if they have vulnerable tenants or if they are approached by vulnerable tenants
- help put tenants in touch with other agencies where appropriate and give people the opportunity and support to manage their own tenancies and finances
- ensure that council officers make reasonable, fair and consistent decisions
- promote a transparent and simple process that is widely understood
- treat each case individually and avoid making assumptions about peoples situations.
