DOWNLOADS AND RESOURCES

Application process and guidelines

The following download of the fund's guidance notes inform ministers, particularly those now nearing retiral, of the nature and extent of the help in the area of housing which, in their retirement, is available from the Housing and Loan Fund. It also advises and reassures ministers' widows and widowers of the housing assistance which the fund may be able to provide, especially for those requiring to leave a manse following the death of a spouse.

Ministers already in retirement, or their widows or widowers, may also be aided in moving to more suitable accommodation. Consideration is also now given to assisting separated and divorced spouses of both working and retired ministers whose marriage breakdown occurs after May 2004. In exceptional circumstances the trustees may be prepared to consider those spouses whose marriage breakdown pre-dates May 2004.

You can download this summary of the fund's guidance notes in Word [.doc], rich text [.rtf] or text only [.txt] formats here which provide a full explanation of loan rates and funding details.

Please note that you must contact the department for an application form and further enquiries, which will be dealt with in the strictest of confidence.
