The Money House helps young people in, or about to move into, independent housing manage their money and maintain their tenancy. Participants gain practical, financial and digital skills to help them pay their rent on time, keep up with bills and budget their living costs. In a flat evironment, we explain how they can make informed choices about their future and teach them how to best manage their money, to prevent homelessness in an immersive setting.
