Homelessness
If you are homeless now or think you may become homeless in the next 2 months, contact our Housing Needs Team immediately. Getting help early can prevent you from losing your home.
We can help you to:
- try to prevent you losing your home
- find new accommodation
- arrange short term or emergency accommodation
- contact other services who can support you
When you contact us, we will assess whether the Assessment Team or Prevention Team is best placed to help you. Our staff are trained to give clear advice and support.
