Help with your housing and staying in your own home

A housing service may help you if you are:

  • at risk of losing your home due to domestic abuse, relationship breakdown, money or health issues
  • already homeless or living in temporary accommodation, such as a bed and breakfast or hostel
  • living in poor quality or unsuitable accommodation

This includes help to manage your housing issues – from debts and benefits, repairs, landlords and neighbours – to getting support to manage your mental health or substance misuse.

Don’t put it off – it is never too soon to ask for help.
