If you are homeless or likely to become homeless you should contact
your local council for emergency housing assistance. The council
will normally help if you:
- Have children or are pregnant
- Have medical problems or a disability
- Are an elderly person or aged between 16 and 18
- Were made homeless because of an emergency, for example a fire,
or because you were fleeing violence
- Have not become homeless intentionally
If you do not fall into any of these categories, the council
will be able to give you advice.
If you are in dispute with your landlord and you fear harassment
and/or eviction, you should contact any of the following for
advice:
- A law centre
- Citizens Advice Bureau
- Housing Advice Centre for advice
Legal advice may be free of charge if you are not working or you
are on a low income.
