What can you do?
If funding is a barrier to finding accommodation, the school Financial Support Office (FSO) has some means-tested funding which is available to students facing an unexpected financial hardship. The guidance notes and application form can be found on the LSE website.

If you are urgently looking for accommodation, we would suggest looking at SpareRoom as vacancies can often come up at short notice or contacting the Accommodation team as they will be able to inform you of any vacancies in halls.

If you are facing the prospect of eviction, we would suggest speaking to the housing charity Shelter as they can provide you with information about the process and your rights.

What can we do?
At the LSESU, we administer a means-tested fund which is designed to support students who are unable to afford basic living expenses (i.e. rent) as a result of an unforeseen event. Our funding is limited and we can only provide financial support on a short term basis. For the full guidance and application forms, please check out our Hardship Fund.
