Local housing allowance
Local housing allowance rates determine the amount of financial support you will get towards your rent if you are eligible for financial support and rent in the private rented sector.
The amount you receive will depend on where you live (broad market area), how much you earn and your savings, as well as how many people live with you.
Find out more about how local housing allowance rates are calculated on the government website.
We recommend you use a benefits calculator to find out what you could be entitled to.
