Financial support for homeowners

If you’re a Shared Ownership leaseholder and struggling financially – due to job loss, low income, or rising costs – there may be help available. Some benefits are not means tested e.g. PIP an additional income to help with the cost of being disabled.

• Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) – a repayable loan for mortgage interest.
• Housing Benefit – if not eligible for Universal Credit.
• Council Tax Reduction – up to 100% off your bill.
• Newlon’s Hardship Fund – help with rent arrears, food, utilities, and essentials.
• Discretionary Housing Payments – extra help with rent.
• Help with NHS Costs – free prescriptions, dental care, eye tests, and travel.
