Worcestershire

The Rent Deposit Scheme has been set up by Worcester Housing and Benefit Advice Centre (WHABAC) . It is a new scheme to help people in drug treatment find secure and suitable accommodation and it is a joint contract between Worcestershire Supporting people and the Worcestershire Substance Misuse Action Team (SMAT).
The project aims to provide a long-term approach for substance mis-users in the area that need support in finding a suitable home.
Rent deposits will be provided to landlords in both the private housing sector and registered social landlords to house people who are actively working with drug and alcohol agencies. It also hopes to help integrate individuals back in to the community by offering access to schemes that assist with employment and training opportunities.

Landlords interested in registering with the scheme or for more information call WHABAC on 01905 721897.
