Advice if you might become homeless

There could be many reasons why you are homeless, or at risk of being homeless – for example you've been asked to leave your home, you are homeless after leaving prison or hospital, your mental health or the condition of your home.

In this section:

Leaving prison and becoming homeless

If you’re leaving prison and are homeless or threatened with homelessness, then you may want to seek advice and support from our Housing Solutions service.

We’ll help to identify your support needs and work with you to relieve your homelessness by developing a personal housing plan. This will identify actions that need to be carried out by yourself and us. It may include:

  • engaging with organisations that help ex-offenders
  • looking for suitable private rented accommodation
