The Council can provide advice and assistance about Housing but does not have to give every homeless person a home.

If you are homeless, facing eviction or repossession of your property, there are services that can help whether you are a housing association tenant, private tenant or homeowner. It is important that you seek advice and assistance as soon as possible before your housing issue becomes a crisis.

Complete the Housing support form and the Council will get in touch to discuss your options.

If you have already been made homeless or are threatened with homelessness in the next 28 days then you should contact the Prevention and Assessment team on 020 8303 7777.

• legal advice and legislation
• financial support and budgeting
• welfare benefits
• support with addiction
