Tenants are referred to us by various organisations, including social services, HM Prisons and Local Authority Homeless Persons Units. Vast numbers of people are in housing need, especially in London. Many local authorities are unable to cope with the enormous demand for housing and those at risk of homelessness.
We make rental assessments by consulting Local Housing Allowance for the postcode in which
an allocated property is situated and then calculate the tenant’s entitlement. We can then match prospective tenants to property providers.
Landlords are subject to relevant housing law and have to maintain their properties to a reasonable standard, ensuring that
gas safety tests are carried out annually and providing an energy performance certificate.
House The Homeless check the eligibility of tenants, liaise with landlords and
house hundreds of single people and families each year.
