Housing Loss Prevention Advice Service (HLPAS)

Tuesday 1 August: Working Age

From today, Tuesday 1 August, people facing eviction or repossession in England and Wales can receive free, expert legal advice from the Housing Loss Prevention and Advice Service (HLPAS).

Advice is available once a written notice is received by a tenant or homeowner and provides a housing expert to look at issues, such as rent/mortgage arrears, welfare benefit payments and debt. People can also have legal representation in court, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Further information, including how to access HLPAS, is available at Legal aid for possession proceedings - GOV.UK.(link is external) Please share this with customers when appropriate.
