Homelessness advice and help

Don't wait until you are homeless before asking for advice. If you think you may lose your home, please come and to talk to us. Our housing advice team will try to help you keep your home. We can give you advice and discuss your options.

If you are threatened with homelessness, or you wish to discuss your housing options, you can make an appointment to see a Housing Advisor, who will explain what options are available to you and what your rights are under the law.

If you find yourself in a situation where you are homeless on the day, you do not need to make an appointment. A duty housing advisor will be able to see you at the Chelmsley Wood area office any week day throughout office opening hours, but you might have to wait depending on the demand for the service.

If you cannot leave your home, please let us know and we will arrange for a housing advisor to visit you. If you prefer, you can get advice over the phone on our duty line. Please phone 0121 717 1515 and ask to speak to the duty housing advisor. The housing advisor will explain what your rights are under the law, and will look at ways in which you can remain in your home. If they cannot help, they will refer you to another organisation.
