Homelessness
Preventing homelessness – advice and support
If you are homeless or threatened with homelessness, we can help. We’ll always try to prevent you from becoming homeless in the first instance.
There are lots of services to help you to stay in your current home, including help with mortgage advice, tenancy matters or relationship breakdown.
If staying in your current home isn’t an option, we can help you look for a new home or other alternatives.
