Homelessness

If our housing options team are unable to prevent your homelessness, the Homeless Officer will assess your situation and, if applicable, provide you and your family with temporary accommodation. A homeless application will be completed and the Homeless Officer will make a decision under the homelessness legislation, taking into consideration the following terms:

• Eligible for assistance
• Homeless or threatened with homelessness
• In priority need
• Intentional homelessness
• Local connection

The Homeless Officer will also offer advice to other agencies on homelessness and will continue to provide advice and assistance to applicants.

If you are homeless or threatened with homelessness, please contact the Housing Needs Team on 01225 776655 or e-mail homelessness@westwiltshire.gov.uk

You can also use our online form to notify us if you are threatened with homelessness.
