financial advice

As welfare reform and changes to the Social Fund have taken effect, Housing Rights has found that affordability is consistently one of the top issues encountered by clients. Nevin Economic Research Institute (NERI) has also found that those living in both the social and private rented sectors are at risk of poverty after housing costs are met. This is particularly the case for low-income households in the private rented sector, who face a particularly high housing cost burden and a high risk of poverty.

Our Financial Capability training looks at what financial capability means, the causes of debt in Northern Ireland and how this impacts on client’s financial management. It will help you to empower and support your clients to manage their own budget and sustain their home.
