Make a housing advice and homelessness application: step by step

Overview

We'll give you advice to help you find suitable accommodation. Depending on your circumstances, we may be able to offer temporary accommodation.

Once you have a temporary place, we can give you advice to help you find a new long-term home.

Check if you are eligible for help with homelessness before going through the application process.

There are more options if you're homeless because of domestic abuse.
