prison’s support services as soon as possible and ask them to make a referral to us on your behalf.</p> <p>Where possible it is best to contact us before leaving prison if you believe you are going to be homeless. We need to gather as much information as possible regarding your circumstances to provide you with the most appropriate advice and assistance to find suitable accommodation up to 56 days before your release date.</p> <p><a href="/housing-and-homelessness/homelessness/homeless-or-risk-becoming-homeless" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="876beca6-edd2-4fb8-8798-3ee897aff693" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="Homeless or at risk of becoming homeless ">Visit our homelessness advice page</a> to find out the support available.</p> <h2>Help with money on release </h2> <p>You can apply for a discharge grant of £82.39 before you are released. If you have found accommodation for your first night on release, you can also apply for an extra grant of £50 which will be paid directly to the accommodation provider.</p> <p>The North Yorkshire local assistance fund can also help. You can apply before you are released, particularly if you need help with essential items such as clothes or general costs associated with moving into new accommodation. <a href="https://nylaf.flexigrant.com/">For further information and to apply, visit the North Yorkshire Local Assistance Fund online portal</a>.</p> <h2>Help with housing costs</h2> <p>If you are receiving a state benefit or on a low income once released from prison, you can apply for help towards your rent.</p> <p>If you are looking to rent a private rented property, the maximum amount of help you can get is set by the local housing allowance. Details are available on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/local-housing-allowance" rel="noopener">the local housing allowance page on the Government website</a>. If you are under 35, you will only be able to get rent to cover you for a room in a shared house. Further details can be found on <a href="/benefits/housing-benefit" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="0664dcc9-20cb-4c57-a2a8-93256ce56eb3" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="Housing Benefit">our housing benefit page</a>.</p> <h2>If you are eligible to be released from prison but have licence conditions and need help with finding suitable accommodation</h2> <p>If your licence conditions mean you cannot return home, you should speak to your offender manager before you are released.</p> <p>If you are eligible to be released on a tag, your offender manager will need to approve your intended accommodation to ensure that it complies with your sentence or licence conditions.</p> <p>Some other housing providers will accept applications if you are on a tag. Contact the resettlement advice service on <a href="tel:%2003001231999">0300 123 1999</a> for advice on other housing providers who accept these applications.</p> <h2>Options if your licence conditions mean you cannot return home</h2> <p>You should speak to your offender manager before you are released if your licence conditions mean that you cannot return home. If you are worried about where you will live for the duration of your licence, you can call our resettlement advice service on <a href="tel:%2003001231999">0300 123 1999</a>.</p> <h2>Bail and support scheme (CAS 2)</h2> <p>NACRO operates the bail and support scheme which offers accommodation and support <strong>for people who do not have a suitable address for the term of their licence or Bail Order</strong>. You will have to pay for this accommodation, but you may be able to claim benefits to help with the cost.</p> <p>You will only be eligible for this service if you have been bailed by the courts or released from prison, initially on an electronic tag, having served a prison sentence. The overall aim of the service is to reduce unnecessary loss of liberty and its negative impacts on family life, employment and housing, and to deter people from re-offending.</p> <p>You can phone the scheme on <a href="tel:03001231889">0300 123 1889</a>.</p> <h3>Community Accommodation Services (CAS 3)</h3> <p>The Community Accommodation Service Tier 3 (CAS3) provides temporary accommodation for up to 84 nights for homeless prison leavers and those moving on from Approved Premises or the Bail Accommodation and Support Service (CAS2), and assistance to help them move into settled accommodation. Your probation officer can make a referral to CAS 3 on your behalf.</p> <h2>Where to live after release</h2> <p>There are a range of options. </p> <h3>Family and friends</h3> <p>Most people leaving prison return to family or friends, at least in the short term. However, if those relationships have broken down, it may be possible to rebuild bridges, perhaps with the help of prison staff. It is very difficult to secure housing on release as waiting lists for social housing are long, so it is very important not to dismiss this as an option.</p> <h3>Social housing</h3> <p>If possible, before release, <a href="/housing-and-homelessness/finding-home" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="18709e57-36aa-4395-b24c-266fbe5e52e0" data-entity-substitution="canonical" rel="noopener" title="Finding a home">complete a housing application for social housing</a>. Paper applications are also available.</p> <p>Your application may be assessed under the unacceptable behaviour test, and you may not qualify for the housing register depending on your housing and offending history.</p> <h3>Supported housing</h3> <p>Supported housing can offer you specialist support to address specific issues that may have led to your imprisonment or to help you live independently and adjust back into the community. Varying levels of support can be provided, depending on the type of accommodation service and your needs.</p> <h3>Private renting</h3> <p>The main advantage of private rented accommodation is that you will have more choice in terms of location and type of property. Private rented accommodation is an obvious choice if you have some savings. It is also something that your family and friends can help you to look for and, where possible and necessary, lend money for in order to secure a property.
