If you or someone you know is worried about homelessness, the first thing to do is to contact the local council. They have a duty to help people experiencing homelessness.

To do this, contact your local authority’s Housing Options team. Depending on your circumstances, they could help you with emergency accommodation; this includes a place in a shelter, or hostel, or longer-term accommodation, such as independent living or social housing.

If possible, you should approach the council that you, or the person you’re helping, has a local connection to, usually in the area you’ve most recently lived. Go to www.gov.uk/find-local-council to find out who you need to contact.

If you or someone else is sleeping on the streets, use StreetLink to make a referral to a local rough sleeping Outreach Team. StreetLink is a national rough sleeper referral site and app, which St Mungo’s help to run in London.  Visit www.thestreetlink.org.uk
