Who can access temporary accommodation

If are homeless and eligible, you will be classed as a 'priority need group' (Housing Act 1996) and we have a duty to offer you temporary accommodation.

Once you have been given temporary accommodation will then decide if we do have a duty to house you:

  • if we decide we do then we will find you settled accommodation
  • if we decide do not then you will have to leave the temporary accommodation and we will help you to find other accommodation.
