What temporary accommodation is

Temporary accommodation is a home with furniture provided to people while they have nowhere to stay.

Rental charge

We charge a weekly rent to provide temporary accommodation, furnishings, and access to advice and assistance from dedicated team of accommodation staff. Details of this are included as part of the temporary accommodation agreement.

Rental charge from April 2025 to March 2026

The rental charge is based on the number of bedrooms.

• 0 bedrooms (a bedsit) - £318.84
• 1 bedroom - £333.60
• 2 bedrooms - £339.35
• 3 or more bedrooms - £350.16

Ways to pay the temporary accommodation rental charge

We'll give everyone placed in our temporary accommodation relevant information on what benefits they're entitled to, and we'll encourage them to take up these benefits. We can also help with completing application forms and progressing benefits claims.
