Worried about losing your home

We know how important it is that everyone has a safe and secure place to live. Facing homelessness is tough and stressful and we will be there to assist you during this difficult situation and find a way forward.

You could be at risk of homelessness if:

  • You are likely to have no home within 56 days
  • Your landlord has given you a valid legal written notice

If you are worried about losing your home, we can provide you with advice on the options available to you. It is important that you let us know as soon as possible, so that we have more time to help you, as we may be able to help you to remain in your current home or move to another. It is not always possible to prevent you from becoming homeless, but we will offer advice and support for your circumstances.

You can find further information relating to your personal circumstances on the below buttons, as well as information on how we can assist you as a local authority.
