Homeless after being discharged from hospital
If you're homeless or threatened with homelessness and are due to be discharged from hospital soon, it's important that you inform hospital staff immediately. They'll be able to arrange for appropriate support.
An assessment will take place in order to determine whether you:
- are genuinely homeless
- have a priority need for rehousing consideration
- are otherwise significantly more vulnerable than an average person
- locally connected to Luton
Support we can provide
We're able to give housing advice and provide you with the best suited Personal Housing Plan to prevent or relieve your homelessness. We'll:
- identify whether there is anywhere for you to return to or negotiate for your return if possible
- work with you to obtain settled housing
- discuss your options for housing and work with you to prevent homelessness
- work with a range of other agencies to assess whether you are likely to need help living independently - this may include the involvement on an occupational therapist to determine your housing needs
If hostel, refuge or other forms of temporary accommodation are required, we'll identify the most suitable options and search for availability.
