Description

Housing assistance helps you pay your rent or reduce your housing costs if you own your home and live in it.

If your financial situation worsens, you can apply to receive more housing assistance.

This deterioration can have various causes:

  • The total income of all household members decreases.
  • Your rent or your housing costs (excluding heating costs) increase.
  • There are more people living in your household.
