Who qualifies for these rooms

  • Supported accommodation. You'll need Universal Credit. Rent is met through benefits, so the listing shows a service charge instead of a rent figure.
  • Transitional accommodation. You'll need Universal Credit, plus at least one of Limited Capability for Work and Work Related Activity, PIP, Carer's Allowance or ESA.
  • Private rooms. Open to anyone. The listing shows the rent, and any service charge is stated separately.

Questions tenants ask about rooms in Birmingham

Can I rent a room in Birmingham on Universal Credit?

Yes. Supported and benefits only rooms in Birmingham are let to tenants whose housing costs are met by Universal Credit. The listing states which benefits you need before you enquire, so you never chase a room you cannot take.

What is the difference between supported and transitional housing in Birmingham?

Supported accommodation requires Universal Credit. Transitional accommodation requires Universal Credit plus at least one of LCWRA, PIP, Carers Allowance or ESA. Both cover rent through benefits, so the room listing shows a service charge rather than a rent figure.

How quickly can I move into a room in Birmingham?

Every listing shows its available from date. Once you enquire, the provider has one working day to respond, so most tenants hear back the next working day and arrange a viewing from there.
