Your request
In the context of a housing crisis and the council's homeless strategy, could you please inform of whether SE19 is an area that needs provision for the homeless?
Our response
Advice and support for households homeless or threatened with homelessness in Lambeth is available on-line, by telephone, and through in-person interviews at the Councils’ Civic Centre in Town Hall Parade, Brixton. Strategies similarly reference homelessness services for the borough at large and not any one postcode. Housing waiting list numbers provide one measure of housing need in the borough but not the whole picture. There are almost 40,000 households on the Waiting List on 28/07/2022 and 1,001 households , 2.5%, have recorded SE19 as their postcode. Please be advised that a housing register application may not be a current, accurate, or the only measure of housing need in the borough.
