Homelessness

The Council has a duty to provide advice and assistance to anyone who is homeless. In some cases we may have a legal duty to provide temporary accommodation for people who are homeless and vulnerable.

You do not have to be homeless before you contact us. If you are threatened with homelessness, we may be able to prevent it, or at least advise you on your legal rights to remain in your home for as long as possible. Contact us at the Housing and Homelessness Assessment Team.
