Accommodation and housing support for domestic abuse
We have a duty of care to find somewhere for you and any dependent children to live, if you are experiencing domestic abuse. Some people are entitled to emergency accommodation.
You will be asked to provide details about your situation. You may be asked for supporting evidence, which could include details and dates of incidents.
Contact us
To apply for help with accommodation and housing, contact us online.
Or, you can call our Housing Options team.

Legal advice
In addition to any support given by us and other agencies, we strongly advise that you obtain independent legal advice as soon as possible.
You might be able to get free and confidential advice from Civil Legal Advice (CLA) as part of legal aid if you are in England or Wales.
