Homelessness

Our aim is to provide a service that prevents homelessness wherever possible, and fairly and accurately assess homeless applications under the legislation provided.

We have to decide on behalf of the Council if there is a legal duty towards you, if so how that duty will be fulfilled and if not how else you can be helped.

If you are faced with being homeless please contact the team on 01773 573100 or for out of office hours emergencies only, contact the Emergency Duty Team on 01629 533160. Alternatively you can email the team with your query or complete our online enquiry form. If you want to find out about arranging an appointment with us, see ‘How to contact the team’.
