If You Are at Risk of Becoming Homeless
If you are homeless, are at risk of becoming homeless or don’t feel safe in your home, it is important you talk to someone. A Youth Support Worker can help you stay safe and can explain the options available to you.
What Is Homelessness?
Homelessness means not having a home. A home is a place that provides security, privacy, and links to a community and support network. It needs to be decent and affordable. Under the law, even if someone has a roof over their head they can still be homeless. This is because they may not have any right to stay where they live or their home may be unsuitable to live in.
If you are homeless or know someone who is, please contact us as soon as possible.
Call 01709 336009 for help 24 hours a day.
