WYCOMBE RENT DEPOSIT GUARANTEE SCHEME
The Wycombe Rent Deposit Guarantee Scheme (WRDGS) has been serving the Wycombe District since 1996.

The Scheme helps to prevent homelessness by providing:

Guarantees

We guarantee the deposits required by private landlords to secure a tenancy

Support

We work to rescue & sustain tenancies (helping tenants to stay in their homes by liaising between tenant, landlord and benefit agencies if problems arise which could threaten eviction)
v

Advice

We give free, confidential advice on housing-related matters

The Scheme helps people who are homeless, or in housing need, to help themselves. Without a permanent address, it is almost impossible to get a job and is impossible to set up a bank account and without a job or bank account it’s almost impossible to get a permanent address.

Over our nearly 25 years in operation we’ve helped hundreds of people break out of the vicious circle of homelessness.  Click here to see a few of our real life cases.
