What happens if I start working whilst I’m living in C.A.S.S. accommodation?

The first thing is that you need to tell us - and also provide Housing Benefit with information about your wages. You may still qualify for some benefits depending on the amount of money you earn. Your Project Worker would assist you in completing any necessary paperwork and we can calculate the amount of rent you would need to pay. Your Project Worker will also discuss rent payments with you and arrange a convenient method for these payments to be made.

If you'd like advice about homelessness, housing
and/or benefits or would like to enquire about C.A.S.S.
services you can "Ask online"

To use the Ask Online form, just type your query above, fill in the ‘name’ and ‘e-mail’ boxes, select an ‘age range’ and ‘gender’ then click ‘submit’.

A C.A.S.S. worker will receive your query and get back to you within a few days. They’ll do this by sending an e-mail to the address you’ve provided. It might be that your query is straightforward and can be answered quickly. Alternatively, if it’s more complicated the worker may take a little longer to get back to you or may have to e-mail you, requesting further information, before a full answer can be provided.
