I need a place to stay
tonight, where can I go?
If you ever find yourself in this
position or think it may be a possibility, speak to family or
friends, someone may put you up for a little while until you find
somewhere to live.
If this is not appropriate or you need a place to stay
tonight contact any of our
Local Service Centres. We will
offer you advice and if that is not adequate we can provide you an
appointment to see one of our Housing Advisors at the Housing
Options Centre.
What happens at the appointment with
the Housing Options Centre?
A council officer will
assess your circumstances and advise you on the most appropriate
housing options available to you.
