City of Wolverhampton Council has announced measures designed to support council home tenants who may struggle to pay their rent during the coronavirus outbreak.
The council has implemented the following measures to provide reassurance and offer flexibility to struggling households:
Councillor Louise Miles, City of Wolverhampton Council’s Cabinet Member for Resources, said: “These are unprecedented times and we know people are worried about how they will pay the bills if their income drops. We wanted to make it clear that the council stands ready to support people through the uncertainty.
“People will still need to pay their rent in full, but this announcement is about providing flexibility if you need it and identifying financial advice you may need.
“We want people to contact us if they face difficulty paying so that we can talk through their individual circumstances, so please work with us to let us help you.”
