We are updating our housing, homelessness and rough sleeping strategy to help us make sure we are supporting our customers in the best possible way from 2025 onwards. We are asking people who are current users of our homelessness and tenancy sustainment services, and those who have recently used our services, to give us their views on how well we serve you and what improvements we could make, so we can feed any ideas into our emerging strategy.

Domestic abuse, hate crime, racial harassment and other violence support

Leaving your home

If you are a victim of domestic abuse, hate crime, racial harassment or other violence and need to leave your home as a result, you will likely be assessed as having priority need.

This will be based on an assessment that it is no longer safe for you to live in a home where you are at risk of domestic abuse or other violence.

You will not be viewed as becoming intentionally homeless if you leave your current home as a result of domestic abuse or other violence.

If you are a victim of domestic abuse hate crime, racial harassment or other violence, find out more about the homelessness support we provide.
