Paying for your home

Whatever type of housing you choose will need to be paid for.

This could be:

• A weekly or monthly rent payment
• A repayment of a mortgage, which is money you have borrowed from a bank or building society to buy your home

The money you need to pay for your housing, is likely to come from a variety of sources including:

• Wages (income from a paid job)
• Housing benefit
• Income support
• Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
• Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
• Universal Credit
