Homelessness

The Housing Officer will aim to carry out all required investigations and provide you with a letter detailing the outcome of your homelessness application within 28 days.

If the outcome advises that you are either

Not homeless or threatened with homelessness

• The Housing Officer will provide housing advice and information regarding your Housing Options.

Intentionally homeless

• The Housing Officer will provide advice and assistance and can help you obtain permanent accommodation within other sectors.

Where the Housing Officer’s decision is that you

• are homeless
• have found to be unintentionally homeless

Your application will be placed on the Urgent Homeless List and we will make you an offer of permanent secure accommodation. Further information can be found at Where will I be housed? on our website.

Your view is important to us

We are keen to work with people who are currently or have recently been homeless to help us continue to improve our services to prevent people from becoming homeless and to support those who are.

This can take place in various ways such as attending group meetings/events, reviewing our services, or answering short surveys.

If you think you would be interested in this and would like further information, please email us at homelessness.strategy@southlanarkshire.gov.uk providing your name and contact details and we will contact you.
