Info about help for people who’ve been flooded out of their homes is on the Calderdale Council residents’ flood help website in the section:

“Help available through the Discretionary Housing Payment scheme”

Anyone who has had to leave their home temporarily due to flooding and is in receipt of Housing Benefit may be able to get assistance with the following:

• Bond payments if moving into a private tenancy
  
• Removal costs
  
• Shortfall in rent if temporarily moving into a property larger than the household needs
  

Please complete and return to us the Discretionary housing payment form [(downloadable here
