| If you are homeless, or think you are about to become
homeless, we can offer you help and
advice. | |
The first thing to do is to call our Helpline. For
details of how to contact us, please see the link on the right-hand
side of this page called 'How to contact the Housing Service' where
you will find the Helpline number and also other ways to contact
us.
Tell us about your problem and we will assess your situation and
begin the process that will produce the best result for
you. We may be able to prevent you becoming homeless or
help you find somewhere else to live, so do give us a call - we're
here to help.
We may have to ask you for lots of information about your situation
but this is because we have to follow legal guidelines as set out
in the Housing Act 1996 and Homelessness Act 2002.
You can find out more about the Government's approach to
homelessness and what laws and guidelines they have made by
following the link on the right-hand side of this page. This will
take you to the Communities & Local Government web site where
you can read more about it.
If you are homeless, there may be things that the council should
do to help and assist you. The links on the right-hand side of the
page will tell you more about
this. | |
