Financial Difficulty
The increased cost of living brings a wave of new challenges. The number of people in Rotherham facing fuel poverty will likely increase as household bills rise, and more people will find themselves turning to the Council for housing support. The housing market is also shifting. Increased house prices and rents are further limiting the housing options of people with low incomes, with much of the private sector out of reach for local people and interest rates and other household bills rising, causing concern for homeowners too.
If you think that you are at risk of homelessness because of financial difficulty, then you can contact the Homeless Team to discuss your circumstances and see if we can provide any advice and assistance.
If you have made yourself intentionally homeless because you didn't pay your rent when you could afford to do, we may not be able to offer any assistance.
