What homelessness is
You are homeless if you do not have a home that you can live in legally. You are not homeless if:
- You can legally stay in your home
- There is a second home which is available to you
You may be homeless if you have a home, but cannot live there for certain reasons:
- You have been evicted illegally from it
- It's not reasonable for you to stay in your home, because of domestic violence or threats of violence against you or a member of your family
Preventing homelessness
We will do everything possible to prevent you from becoming homeless, but it is important that you contact us without delay, even if you feel your situation is hopeless.
If we cannot prevent your homelessness, we can give you advice about other housing options that may be available to you.
Temporary accommodation during freezing temperatures
Emergency support is available to people sleeping rough when temperatures drop below freezing and we provide temporary bed and breakfast accommodation for vulnerable people.
If you are concerned about someone that you have seen sleeping rough, you can report it to us through the StreetLink website, so that we can help them to access the support they need.

We will base our decision on your housing circumstances now and not on your future housing need.
