Housing & Construction Authority: Housing benefits and rental matters

What is the amount of housing benefits?

The amount depends on the number of household members and the total income, before tax, of all household members 18 years and older.
Full benefits can be received if the total income is below the minimum income limit and assets are under the minimum asset limit.
Using our housing benefits calculator you can calculate the housing benefits you might be entitled to.
