How to get help if you are facing homelessness

BT HAMILTON CO8A8767 Scaled.jpg

Homelessness can happen to anyone and can be caused by many reasons, like health issues, relationship problems or losing your job.

You do not have to be sleeping on the street to be homeless. You might have a roof over your head and still be homeless if you’re:

  • temporarily staying with friends or family
  • staying in a hostel or shelter
  • living in overcrowded conditions
  • at risk of violence in your home
  • living in poor conditions that affect your health

 

Your local council

Local councils have a legal duty to give advice and information about homelessness, and how to prevent it. It is their legal responsibility to at least provide you with temporary accommodation.

Get homelessness advice from your local council here.

Shelter Scotland

Call the free housing advice helpline on 0808 800 4444 to talk to an adviser who can:

  • explain your rights
  • tell you your options
  • tell you what help’s available in your area

You can also email [email protected] (West Coast).

The Shelter Scotland website has information and advice about homelessness.

If you’re a veteran

You should be able to get help from your local council if you’re a veteran. There are several veterans charities that offer help and housing assistance if you’re a veteran.
