Any advice on how a full time Carer (I have been told thats 'Care-Giver in America) can get financial help securing a property?
I am a full time carer (over 35 hours a week) and recieve Carers Allowance, Income Support and would recieve Housing Benefits if I had a place of my own. I am getting pretty desperate to secure somewhere to live as my current situation is not ideal. Does anyone know what financial support, if any, is available when it comes to securing a property, specifically for people on Carers Allowance/low income. I already know about Budgeting Loans but in the run up to Christmas this isn’t much of an option, plus I am looking to raise almost a grand, and a budgeting loan won’t even cover half. I was hoping there was more support out there for carers, doing an extremely low paid job that someone has to do.. but I can’t seem to find anything. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (England, by the way)
