Preventing homelessness

Preventing homelessness

The earlier you let us know about your housing problem the more we can do to help.

Most homelessness is preventable, but only if early action is taken before the situation gets worse. We are committed to helping you keep your home or find safe and secure accommodation that is the right choice for you.

If you are at risk of becoming homeless, our aim is to prevent you losing your accommodation, or help you find a home that best meets your needs.

Don't wait until homelessness is upon you before you seek help. Together we can find a solution to your housing problem and avoid the trauma and stress of homelessness.

To speak to someone about your housing problems, contact theĀ Housing Options and Advice service on 020 7926 4200.
