New Report on Private Renting Schemes

Crisis, the charity for single homeless people, has published a report detailing achievements from its first year running the Private Renting Access Development Programme.  The programme, funded by the CLG supported 49 local projects run by voluntary and community based organisations across England in its first year.  The schemes, which work with both landlords and tenants, offer assistance and advice on finding suitable accommodation, budgeting, dealing with housing benefit and paying bills amongst other services.   The Programme has, in its first year under Crisis’ administration, helped 1,370 people move into private rented accommodation and the report reveals how over three-quarters of these people were successfully supported to stay in their new homes for at least six months.  Download a copy of the report by clicking on the logo below.
