We have a few tools that help you manage rent.

We use PayPal for making rent payments.

 

You don’t need to have a Paypal account for this!

After the first screen that asks for the payment amount, select the button that says “Pay by Debit or Credit Card”. This will bring you to a screen asking for payment details.

Please don’t ignore it if there is a problem with paying your rent.

Please get in touch and discuss whats happening with your support worker (if you’re in stage 1 or 2), or your tenancy worker (if you’re in Exwick, or Sidwell Studios).

If rent has been missed, we will ask you to fill out a rent repayment agreement. This ensures that everyone knows what rent you expect to pay.

YMCA Exeter operates a charitable donation Rent Bursary scheme that helps young people who are currently living in our Newcourt accommodation to be able to enter into full time employment.

This is because as your income from your employment increases, the amount you receive from Housing Benefit decreases.

Please speak with your support worker to find out more about this, and if this applies to you.

We have several rent calculators to help you estimate how changes to your income will impact your housing benefit and your top-up.

It was a privilege to join over 20 YMCA’s from acr It was a privilege to join over 20 YMCA’s from across England and Wales at the Houses of Parliament on Monday for the launch of a brand-new campaign to deliver 10,000 genuinely affordable homes for young people across the UK.

The need for affordable housing nationally is striking:

❗29% struggle to raise the five-week upfront deposit needed to secure a home
❗63% have had to borrow money simply to pay their rent
❗17% were forced to move in the last three years because their rent became unaffordable
❗60% say housing costs have stopped them taking the next step in life - including work, education or independence
❗44% of those planning to move say affordability is the single biggest barrier

Locally, YMCA Exeter are tackling this need by providing 85 homes for young people in Exeter, and soon we will be launching 36 new homes in #Torbay and 47 new homes in #Plymouth.

Not only will they have a safe space of their own to call home, but bespoke support to find employment and move towards an independent life.🙏
