## What you need to check

The SA Housing Trust can help if you are moving into a private rental, residential park, boarding house, community housing or some retirement villages. There are income and savings limits, and you cannot owe the Housing Trust over $1,000. Apply before you move in, because rent in advance is not paid after you move. Once approved, you have 14 weeks to find a place. Help with rent you owe is only given in special cases.

This is a short summary. Other rules may apply, like income or where you live. Check the full rules with the agency that runs it.

Struggling with this form?

OPA can go through the official form with you, one question at a time. You check each answer, and nothing is sent until you say yes.
