Homelessness
If you are homeless or likely to become homeless within the next 56 days, you need to contact your local council as soon as possible, to look into your situation and provide you with advice and assistance.
Help if you are homeless or threatened with homelessness
How much help you get depends on your situation and some people may not be eligible for help.
If you are homeless or threatened with homelessness, contact us to discuss your situation. Our Housing Advice Team can assess your situation, give initial advice and make an appointment with a homelessness prevention officer. They can also refer you to our Homeless Outreach and Support team (HOST), if appropriate.
You will need to produce documentation, such as passport / birth certificate, your tenancy agreement, proof of income, landlord contact details and a copy of any notice to vacate that you've received.
Contact the Housing Advice Centre by calling 01483 444244 or emailing housingadvice@guildford.gov.uk
