How we can help
We may be able to:

- help you find somewhere else to live
- offer you somewhere to live
- contact other services who might be able to help you
We'll offer you a housing interview within 2 working days. If you don't have somewhere to stay, we'll offer you an interview that day.

A housing adviser will carry out interview. It should take around an hour but may take longer depending on your circumstances.
You can:
- bring a friend, relative or adviser to the interview
- ask for help if you have communication difficulties
- ask for a translation service if English isn't your first language
- ask for a same sex officer to interview you
