Housing Options
If we cannot prevent homelessness, there are a number of options for rehousing and support in and around Rossendale which include:
Private Rents
One of the quickest ways to find alternative accommodation within Rossendale is to privately rent. Every Landlord has to give new tenants information about their rights How to Rent
If you are homeless or threatened with homelessness the Council's Bond and Rent in Advance Scheme may be able to assist with a payment to your new Landlord if you are claiming or will be claiming Universal Credit or Housing Benefit in your new home. To see if you qualify for help with a Bond or Rent in Advance complete the enquiry form
If you are struggling to afford your rent you can use the Benefit Calculator to check if you are likely to receive help through Housing Benefit or Universal Credit.
If your Landlord does not carry out repairs or you have issues with damp please contact Environmental Health Report a Repair
Social Housing
Apply for a Housing Association Property at B-With-Us, once registered you can bid for properties across Rossendale, Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn and Pendle.
