Housing and Hostels

Your local council is THE FIRST PLACE you need to contact about your housing needs. If you are homeless or being released from prison, and are eligible for help, the local authority will provide housing advice, assistance and support and will take reasonable steps to prevent you becoming homeless. This is in line with their legal obligations.

Available Nationwide
