You can become homeless for lots of different reasons.
You don’t have to be sleeping on the streets to be considered homeless. You can apply for help even if you have somewhere to live but it’s not suitable. For example, if you’re staying on a friend’s sofa or your home is overcrowded.
How much help you get depends on your circumstances.
You can find useful information produced by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council at Housing Advice and Information including eligibility for help to remain in your home or find alternative accommodation. You can find a list of other services that can support you in our service directory.
