You may be able to claim Housing Benefit for supported accommodation, including some hostels, refuges and housing where care, support or supervision is provided. Whether it qualifies depends on the accommodation, landlord, support arrangements and rent, and your council makes the decision based on your circumstances. Some supported housing is treated as specified or exempt accommodation, while other arrangements may be covered through Universal Credit instead. Check with your local council and the official GOV.UK guidance before claiming, particularly if your rent includes service charges.
