You are reminded that that Discretionary Housing Payments (DHP’s) are available to help people living in Powys who need extra help with rent or other one off costs associated with rent or tenancy. Latest reports on the Discretionary Housing Payment fund within Powys for 2016/17 show that there has been a reduction in the number of applications compared with previous years and they want to ensure that the best use of this fund is made.
If you are aware of clients who have been affected by the Benefit Cap or who may be in rent arrears or require additional financial support with rent or tenancy costs, please refer them to the online application form here http://www.powys.gov.uk/en/benefits/apply-for-benefits/discretionary-housing-payments/ or alternatively paper applications can be completed and they will do our best to fast track the applications between now and the end of March 2017.
If you require any further information, please contact Kate Lloyd mailto:kate.lloyd@powys.gov.uk or myself mailto:claire.davies@powys.gov.uk
