Housing & Homeless Support Resources
Facing housing difficulties, whether it’s homelessness, the need for supported accommodation, or challenges with renting, can be incredibly stressful. This page offers access to essential services that can help you, your patients, or family members find shelter, access housing assistance, and gain support for related issues such as addiction or mental health.
If You, a Patient, or a Family Member Needs Help:
The following resources offer guidance and support for housing-related difficulties:
Homeless Support: Services aimed at helping homeless individuals and families find temporary or permanent accommodation. This includes emergency shelters, housing advice, and support to access long-term housing solutions.
Housing Support: Assistance for those struggling with housing, including those affected by drugs, alcohol, or other personal challenges. This includes support with finding accommodation, understanding tenant rights, and advice on housing benefits or financial assistance for rent.
Supported Accommodation: Accommodation services that not only provide shelter but also offer additional support, such as mental health care, addiction recovery services, or assistance with other personal challenges. These services help individuals live independently while receiving the support they need.
