Homeless? Get your foot in the door...

1. Are you homeless?
2. Are you 16 or 17 years old?

If you can answer yes to both questions, then your local council must provide temporary housing and assess your housing needs. If they don’t, they may be breaking the law.

The council also have to help you if you left care after your 16th birthday, and you are still under 21 years old, or under 24 and still in full time education.
