Worried about losing your home
Losing your home or received a notice to quit?
Whether you own, rent or live with friends or relatives we may be able to help if you are faced with losing your home within the next 56 days, or have received a valid notice to quit from your landlord.
Please complete the 'My Options' section of a self referral (opens new window) to notify us urgently. This is not an application for social housing; it is an assessment form to help us understand your current housing situation.
After receiving your form, we will:
- review the information and contact you within 10 working days (only contact us again if there has been a significant change in your circumstances).
- assess your situation
- complete a personalised housing plan with you, setting out actions that you need to take to prevent your homelessness
- offer advice to help you secure alternative accommodation
Click Apply to join the Housing Register (opens new window) to start the process for applying for social housing.
