department of health and social security
It's what the employment service used to be called, but is still used as shorthand by landlords who do not allow people on benefits to rent their place.

Could it be that you are in an area where the DHSS are helping if you live there? Or does it mean that the area you will be moving into the people are out of work, avoid it like the plague?
DHSS-Depatment of Health and Social Security (i.e. don't live here because the people are on social security) ie the people that live in that area are trouble makers. I live in a dhss area amongst the loveliest people you could meet. Therefore-check out the area for a while and see how they are(listen for loud music, noise, and look for rubbish and you will soon get an idea what the plsce is like.

I imagine you are looking at rented accommodation. DHSS is the old name for Social Security. It is now DWP ( Department of Works and Pension). Tha advertisement will say whether the landlord will or will not accept housing benefit, a lot won't. I do, because I've been there myself and understand that everybody needs a place to live.

But everything else is as mentioned before by Alexchapp
