Homeless or at risk
Attending a homeless interview is very important. It will give you useful information and advice and should result in you knowing quickly whether you may be entitled to temporary accommodation. You have the right to be accompanied at the interview by a friend, relative or support worker.
In addition to assessing your application, your Housing Options Officer is also responsible for providing you with advice and assistance on any issues relevant to your homelessness. Discussions are private and confidential.
It is very important that you provide the Officer with full details of your circumstances. At the interview you may be asked to provide information to confirm your circumstances. It is important that you provide this information as quickly as possible to ensure your decision is made within the required timescales.
