Housing - Information and Advice
The Housing Act 1996 (as amended by the Homelessness Act 2002) requires local authorities to provide housing advice, information and assistance.
We will provide advice and information free of charge to people on all housing issues, including their rights to make an application. This advice and information may cover issues relating to owner occupation, shared ownership, private tenancies and housing association tenancies.
Where more specialist advice is necessary, for example if there are complex legal or financial problems, we will refer you to specialist agencies which can help you.
Where practical, we will prevent homelessness by assisting people who are or may become homeless to obtain privately rented accommodation. In order to do this, we may provide you with information about local letting agents, and may assist you to obtain such accommodation by lending money for a deposit.
The use of bed and breakfast accommodation is seen as a last resort, and this type of accommodation is not available in Bracknell.
We will offer assistance to anyone who may have difficulty in applying for accommodation. This service will be offered through our housing officers, or by our partner support agencies.
Please contact us using the details on the right for more information.
