Resident Support Fund

We recognise that residents can suffer severe hardship and have their home and family put at risk without the means to help themselves. We aim to provide a high-quality service to residents and others and to care for the health and well-being of our residents. We recognise that in challenging financial times, unexpected expenditure can tip the balance for those who are already struggling.

• The fund is available to any LRHA residents experiencing financial hardship, which may result in the inability to keep a clear rent account and following review that no other support/funding is available or being accessed.
• The applicant must not be the subject of any investigation in relation to a breach of tenancy or the debt has arisen because of a deliberate act (e.g., willful neglect/vandalism of the property, fraudulent activity). However, this will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
• The applicant must be willing to undertake a budget assessment with a member of LRHA staff and engage in the assessment process.
• The fund is limited to two applications per household in any two-year period.

Residents who receive a grant from the hardship fund are not expected to repay this money. This is a one-off payment to aid you in challenging times and help you get back on your feet.
