Homelessness Prevention and Advice Service
The Homelessness Prevention & Advice Service (HPAS) can assist residents who are seeking general housing advice and/or threatened with homelessness within 56 days. This includes residents who are seeking a Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP).
To access the Homelessness Prevention and Advice Service you will need to complete the online Homelessness Prevention Application. For information on the kind of assistance available and how to apply, please visit Homelessness Prevention and Advice.
The Homelessness Prevention and Advice Service will try to prevent an illegal eviction. Where there is evidence of an illegal eviction having taken place, they may inform the Private Sector Housing Standards Service for further investigation and potential legal action.
