SUPPORT FOR STRUGGLING TENANTS

 

 

TENNANTS in the  private  rental  market struggling  to pay their  rent due to financial  shock will be  offered  relief  under  a  new rental  subsidy  to  be  rolled  out  by  the  NSW Government.


Rent Choice Assist provides rental  assistance for up to three  years while tenants  are supported  to  find job  and study opportunities  to  help  restore  their  financial independence.

Minister  for Social Housing  Pru Goward said Rent Choice Assist was the latest private rental assistance support to help people keep  a roof over their heads.

“Unforeseen  events  such  as  illness  or  retrenchment  can  put  people  at  risk  of homelessness but Rent Choice  Assist can support  them while they  get  back on  their feet,” Ms  Goward said.

The Government  has committed $1B  for homelessness services over  the next  four years.
