Housing options
We can help you understand your housing options and make a plan that works for you. Whether you want to stay in your home or move somewhere else, we will support you.
Speak to your local housing office and ask for a Housing Options Officer.
If you need to leave your home
If you feel unsafe in your home, we can offer you somewhere else to stay. This may be temporary accommodation. It gives you time to make longer-term plans.
We will help you find a safe and secure place to live.
If you want to stay in your home
We can help you feel safer at home. This might include:
- changing locks
- adding door chains
- installing other security measures
There may also be legal options to help keep someone away from your home. You can speak to a solicitor about this with support from Women’s Aid.
If you return to us for help
You have the right to feel safe. We will help you find somewhere safe to stay, no matter how many times you come to us.
