Accommodation Security Cover Grant

You may find accommodation where your supplier needs assurance that costs can be paid for if you leave. If so, we may be able to provide that assurance with an Accommodation Security Cover Grant.

How to apply for Accommodation Security Cover Grant


Call us on 0800 559 009. If you get NZ Super or Veteran's Pension, call Senior Services on 0800 552 002.

We'll book you an appointment to come in and see us.

You'll need to provide a letter from your accommodation supplier confirming that they need this security cover and a copy of your accommodation agreement.
