We provide specialist advice, representation and training around the housing benefit scheme in relation to supported exempt accommodation.

Mark Rodgers established MR Associates in 2000. Today MRA is considered the UK’s leading experts regarding the housing benefit scheme as it relates to supported exempt accommodation.

Our unrivalled knowledge of the scheme, years of experience in successfully resolving housing benefit disputes, and a small team of committed specialists ensures we’re the first choice for charities and organisations seeking advice and representation.

We have Licensed Access with the Bar Standards Board of England and Wales, and are recognised by the Faculty of Advocates in Scotland as a Direct Access Body. Since we are not a firm of solicitors this allows us to instruct a barrister (in England and Wales), or an advocate (in Scotland) without the need for a solicitor.

The area of supported housing and benefits can be complex and time-consuming. We can help you tackle a range of issues by providing clear guidance and expert opinion on the housing benefit scheme in relation to supported accommodation.

We work for UK charities, social housing providers and other non-profit-making organisations that provide supported housing to vulnerable adults. Our support enables you to provide your services without becoming entrenched in complex housing benefit issues.

We have an outstanding track record working for charities and other non-profit-making organisations and successfully resolving housing benefit disputes before local authorities and Tribunals. Our expertise around complicated cases, our direct access to leading barristers, and our in-depth knowledge of housing benefit ensure we get positive outcomes.
