Tenants will pay a monthly rent, service charge and support charge. Some of these charges are eligible for Housing Benefit and Supporting People subsidy.

The rent covers the accommodation and housing management costs. The service charge covers heating and maintenance of your property, a proportion of the midday meal cost and all communal expense charges. The support charge will cover housing-related support services, including on-site assistance in an emergency.

Leaseholders will pay service charge and support charges, but an element will be included in the service charge to cover housing management costs.

For both tenants and leaseholders, there may be a charge for care based on Solihull Care Trust’s non-residential charging policy, if SCT has commissioned your care. Other wise any care needed can be purchased privately.

The exact amount each resident will pay depends on their particular circumstances. Assistance will be given to help applicants work out the cost to them individually, and to claim any benefits or subsidies to which they may be entitled.
