Tier 1 holders and Public Funds

[Sphinxed]

Please team,

Kindly advice, as a Tier 1 holder am I entitled to stay in a "Housing Association" Flat?

Would this be seen as receiving Public Funds?

I would appreciate all responses

Thanx

3.3.2.2. Housing provided independently by housing associations.

Housing associations are separate bodies to housing authorities. They are independent, not-for-profit organisations that exist to provide low-cost housing.

Where a person subject to immigration control presents themselves to a housing association and enters into a contract with them, without any kind of referral from the Local Authority/Housing Authority then this is not to be considered recourse to public funds.

Where the housing association provides accommodation following a referral by the Local Authority or Housing Authority then this is to be considered as recourse to public funds.

If it is not clear whether the housing is provided through an association or local authority, it will be necessary to contact the housing provider to establish on what basis the applicant qualified.
