Does JSA give money for people paying rent?

Hello everyone.

Since May I have come out of Education and got JSA. My partner lost his tempory contract in July and so he went on JSA too.

We want to start a life and get a home for ourselves, so we found a really cheap apartment for 220 rent a month, which we can both afford. However, we can't afford it with all the bills and transport costs (since neither of us drive) too.

Is there something I can ask for help from JSA from until we get jobs? Housing benefit or something?

How much would be entitled too?

I am 20 and am registered blind. He is 19 and erm... Well, not. xD
