Homeless?
If you are homeless and have nowhere to return to tonight, you should contact your local authority for help. You can contact the Housing Advice Centre or One Stop Shop at your local authority. It’s useful to note that if you usually live in a different local authority, then they may refer you back to your original local authority.
