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 love hearing about the various activities our staff and service users get up to, week by week! Over the past few days, a team of women from our Torbay Housing project attended an International Women’s day conference held by Torbay council where women from across the local area were able to connect and hear from inspiring guest speakers.
We also held a baking competition at one of our local Thursday night youth clubs! As you can see, our young people thoroughly enjoyed taste testing their entries 🍪
