Afghan Locally Employed Staff Relocation Scheme

Rent payments

We are able to offer a rent guarantee to landlords. Under the guarantee, if the tenants cannot pay the rent themselves, we will either pay an agreed rent direct to the landlord or make up the shortfall, ensuring that it is paid on time each month, for up to a year.

By 4 months after their arrival, families should qualify to receive benefits like Universal Credit, which will include help with housing costs, but we expect that the families will be keen to find work and be financially independent as quickly as possible.
