Homelessness

If you are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, the first thing you should do is contact your local Housing Options Team.

Housing Options helps prevent homelessness by exploring all available solutions to avoid a crisis. Whether you're facing problems staying in your current home, have received a notice to leave from your landlord, or are already without a home, the Housing Options team can assess your situation and offer advice and support to help you find a suitable place to live.

To get help, contact the Housing Options team for the area you live in. Start by filling out the online referral form for your local area using the links below. The Housing Options team will then get in touch with you to discuss your situation further.

It is sometimes hard to know what constitutes abuse. Together Housing have a comprehensive Safeguarding Toolkit which helps to identify different types of abuse and has links to some sources of help. You can access this by clicking here
