Housing Projects
We currently have two specialist housing projects.
Housing Debt
This project, funded by Clackmannanshire Council's Housing Services, aims to improve tenancy sustainment and prevent homelessness by assisting Clackmannanshire Council tenants who have rent arrears.
We provide a full debt and income maximisation service which includes arranging payment of arrears, both rent & council tax, renegotiating other debts e.g. bankruptcy applications, informal & formal payment arrangements such as the debt arrangement scheme & trust deeds.
We can also provide representation in court for tenants facing eviction, guiding clients through the process of possession proceedings. The project provides a holistic preventative approach aiming to improve tenancy sustainment, ensuring that eviction is always a last resort.
Clackmannanshire Landlord & Tenant Advice Mediation & Support Service
Funded by SafeDeposits Scotland Charitable Trust, this project provides advice for both Landlords and Tenants within the Private Housing Sector to ultimately encourage good working relationships between both parties.
Tenants are given support to remain in their property through the provision of income maximisation, debt advice, energy efficiency advice, mediation and representation in courts and tribunals, where required.
On the other hand, Landlords are offered specialist advice relating to property condition, safety requirements, anti-social behaviour, arrears, deposits and eviction.
If you would like more information on any of the above projects please contact us on 01259 219404 or bureau@clackscab.casonline.org.uk.
