How we can help
We can help you avoid becoming homeless if you're living with family or friends by mediating between you.
We can help you and your family or friends work through your concerns and find a solution. By listening to each other, you can prevent a relationship from falling apart and even rebuild it.
If you're facing homelessness, we want to start working with you right away. We can offer you the following support:
- working with children's services to help you stay at home, if it's safe
- doing a joint assessment with children's services to figure out the best support for you
- working with children's services to find the right housing option for you
- giving you advice and assistance so you can make an informed choice about the support you can get from the council
- referring you to supported accommodation if appropriate
You can also apply for social housing through BFCMyChoice.
