Get help if you are homeless

The demand for social housing is very high. Most people that join the housing register never get a social home even if they’re homeless, have significant medical needs or living in an overcrowded home.

If you have nowhere to stay or it is not safe for you to stay where you are, we may be able to offer you support.

Types of support

We may be able to help you with:

• advice on benefits you may be eligible to receive
• finding private rented or accommodation or a long-term home
• referrals to our children’s social services or adult social care services
• temporary accommodation, if you’re eligible for housing support.

How to contact us

If you’re worried about becoming homeless, you should contact us as soon as possible using our online contact form.

We will aim to respond within 48 hours of receiving the form, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.  If you are homeless and have nowhere to stay tonight, call 0208 708 4002.
