Threatened with homelessness: what help is available

West Suffolk Council have a dedicated advice and prevention team who can help you if you are threatened with homelessness, or are homeless in any way. Local councils have a legal duty to assess each person or family and provide advice and support in areas such as:

• emergency and temporary accommodation
• homelessness applications
• accessing privately rented accommodation
• assistance with deposits and making an application to choice based lettings.
• benefits
• budgeting

They will work with you to make an assessment of your housing needs and offer individual, tailor made advice relevant to your situation.

visit our Homelessness page for more information on how the housing team can help.
