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.
