Financial assistance
The cost of living in central London is outside most budgets. You should be flexible and consider accommodation in the outer parts of London, which is often cheaper.
Local Support Payments
Local Support Payments can help with the cost of essential white goods and furniture if you are moving home. Cash payments are not available: instead store vouchers for specific goods are provided.
To be eligible for local support payment you must either be moving to new accommodation in Westminster or to accommodation outside the borough that we have arranged.
You must be receiving a qualifying welfare benefit and an officer from the Housing Solutions Service, Children's Services or Adult Social Care needs to endorse your online application.
