Assistance with homelessness

You don't have to be rough sleeping to be homeless. There are a number of different situations that could mean you are considered homeless or threatened with homelessness. 

It may be because you: 

  • have come to the end of your contract and your landlord has asked you to leave  
  • have fallen into rent arrears and your landlord has given you an eviction notice  
  • are staying with friends or 'sofa surfing' and they have asked you to leave  
  • are at risk of violence or abuse where you are living  
  • are street homeless or rough sleeping 
  • you are likely to lose your home within the next 56 days

Domestic abuse

Domestic abuse is a crime and should reported to the police. If you, or someone you know, is in immediate danger call 999.

If you, or someone you know, is a victim of domestic violence and abuse, you can report this to the council.
