Homelessness

If you find yourself homeless or think that you may shortly become homeless your first point of contact will be your Local Authority. They will put you in touch with a Homelessness officer who will be able to help you.

It would be advisable to phone your local office before you visit to make sure that you attend the appropriate office.
