Help to improve your home
Are you are looking to improve your home but struggling with finances?
If you are a homeowner living in Havering, DABD (uk) Financial Capability Coaches may be able to help you find funds to make repairs, improvements or adaptations to your home. We also support leaseholders with major works bills.
All applicants will receive free, confidential financial support from a DABD (uk) Financial Capability Coach who will help you look at the various options available.
They will also carry out a free ‘income maximisation assessment’ to ensure that you are not missing out on benefits and tax credits that may be due to you as well as helping you access any other services or schemes that may be of help.
This service is funded by the East London Housing Partnership (ELHP) and supervised by The Alfa Group Ltd to guarantee a quality and impartial service.
Please call DABD (uk) on 020 8252 5340 or email john.dulwich@dabd.org.uk or grant.apicella@dabd.org.uk
