Homelessness prevention
We work hard to prevent homelessness, and we can do this far
more effectively if we have the opportunity to help sooner
rather than later. Please do not wait until you are actually
homeless before contacting us.
Preventing homelessness
Preventing homelessness is our main priority,
and there are a number of options that you can consider if you
believe that you are at risk of becoming homeless.
We have specialist officers who can advise you
on how to resolve specific issues that increase the risk of
becoming homeless, particularly housing-related money advice, and
can advise on tenancy eviction law.
The main thing is to contact us before you are
made homeless – once you have been made homeless, it is much more
difficult for us to help you resolve your situation.

homelessness prevention options, or see general advice on housing.
How
to contact us
In the first instance, it is best to telephone
us. We will take brief details and advise you of how we propose to
deal with your situation. If you cannot telephone, then we will see
you at our office.
