Help from your council if you’re homeless or at risk of homelessness

Get help and advice from the local council if you’re homeless or about to lose your home.

There’s a different way to get help in Scotland and to get help in Northern Ireland.

Enter a postcode where you have a local connection. This might be where you’ve lived recently, have close family or work.

For example SW1A 2AA

If you’re applying for housing support from a council in England

You do not need to have a local connection if you are:

  • a current or former member of the UK armed forces
  • a bereaved spouse or civil partner losing Ministry of Defence housing due to a service-related death
  • a current or former Reservist with a service-attributed serious injury or illness
  • a care leaver who is under 25
  • a survivor of domestic abuse
