We understand that sometimes there may be situations when you may need emergency accommodation. We can help you to access short term or emergency accommodation in urgent situations via our Housing colleagues. We want to reduce the numbers of care-experienced adults having to access emergency accommodation, and are working hard with our colleagues in Housing, supported lodgings, and families (where this is appropriate) to make this a reality.

If you think you could become homeless for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible, as we can work to try to prevent this happening, and / or you going into emergency accommodation. Our team can submit a ‘Duty to Refer’ up to 56 days before you become homeless, which acts to give our Housing colleagues notice of you potentially becoming homeless. As a care experienced adult you are seen as a Housing priority until you are 25, although this does not mean that you will automatically be given somewhere to live.
