Homelessness help for domestic abuse victims

We will:

  • assess your current situation
  • consider what you have done so far (for example, contacting the police)
  • discuss other ways to help you (for example, organisations that find victims of domestic violence somewhere safe to live)
  • check you are eligible for homelessness help 

If you are eligible for our help, we will do a homelessness assessment for you. We could offer you emergency accommodation until we complete this assessment.
