Homelessness

We aim to provide good quality housing service at all times.

Our housing support service will continue to be delivered via face-to-face meetings where possible. Where this is not possible, they will be conducted by telephone.

If you are homeless and have nowhere to live, or you are threatened with homelessness you can speak to someone in confidence by telephoning 0303 123 1012 – Option 5

If you require somewhere to stay and our offices are closed, you can telephone the emergency freephone number on 0800 24 20 24
