Rental Accommodation Scheme RAS
The Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) is a new initiative being introduced to cater for the Accommodation needs of persons who are in receipt of rent supplement, normally for more than 18 months, and who have a long-term housing need. The scheme is intended to provide an additional source of good quality rented accommodation for eligible persons to enhance the response of local authorities to meeting long-term housing need.
Under the RAS, we will find you suitable accommodation and will pay rent to the landlord directly. You will still contribute to the rent but you will pay it to the council, not your landlord. Over time your contribution will be based on our differential rent scheme.
