Staying with family or friends
It might be an option for you to live with friends or family, which can be useful for you to save up money for a deposit, be in education or find employment. The costs of renting or buying can be high, so living with friends or family means that you may be able to save money until you can live independently. You may also want to stay with family or friends to be supported, or to support them.
If you are staying with friends and family and are claiming benefits, it is important that you declare where you are living.
