Cost of Living Help from Westfield Housing Association

We understand the pressures being caused by the rises in the cost of living. We are working to ensure that any support required is available to all tenants.

Contact us for support with income maximisation and welfare benefits advice.  We also work closely with other organisations to access funding that you might be eligible for to help you in the short term. You can also check out our Money, Benefits and Wellbeing Advice pages.

If you are experiencing problems because of the cost of living, or another matter, please speak to us. We will do our upmost to assist.
