Worried about becoming homeless?

If you are worried about becoming homeless you should seek advice as early as possible. You may be able to get to help to keep your tenancy from a Floating Support service either in Nottingham City or in the County.

There are ways to avoid becoming homeless even if the situation appears hopeless, always seek advice as early as you can. You can get support and advice from your local Housing Aid Centre (see details above), the Citizens Advice Bureau, your local council (see above for details) or a local advice agency or day centre. If you approach the council for help they must offer you advice and assistance as a minimum duty.
