Homelessness
Housing Options
If you find yourself with nowhere to stay we can offer you advice to prevent you from losing your home or to find a place to live. In some cases we will arrange accommodation for you.
We have a Housing Options Team available to discuss your housing situation with you. The team can be contacted at your local council offices.

A Housing Options Officer will ask you questions about your housing situation such as your household details, present address, income, health needs and involvement with any other agencies.
It will be helpful if you bring any documents with you that are relevant to your current housing circumstances. This will enable an assessment to be made of the options that could be available to you.
Sometimes the Housing Options Officer will undertake a visit to your home to complete the assessment.
