A SCHEME that has helped more than 200 families rent a home in the private sector has been given more money by the government.
The grant of £7,500 has been awarded to Epping Forest Housing Aid to enable the local charity to help more people rent a house.
In a separate move Epping Forest District Council has also authorised for £47,500 to provide small interest free loans up to £5,000 for residents in danger of losing their home.
