Suffolk Coastal is required to provide emergency shelter for
homeless people who are in priority need. In general terms this
includes families with school age children; pregnant women; people
with a disability (including those suffering with mental ill
health); and those people above state pensionable age.
You are classed as homeless if any of the following apply:
- You have no accommodation available in the UK or
elsewhere.
- Your family has no home where you can live together.
- You have a home but you cannot get in.
- You have a home but it is considered unreasonable for you to
live there.
If you are homeless and need help with accommodation, contact
the Housing Options Team on 01394 444237 or email
homelessness@suffolkcoastal.gov.uk
If you need help outside of office hours telephone 01502
527133 and speak to the operator who will contact a duty
officer.
