Homeless or about to be Homeless?
What should I do? Who can help?
Please approach Gt Yarmouth Borough Council as your first step. Address: Norvic Centre, The Conge, Great Yarmouth NR30 1PJ
Tel:01493 846140
Email: housing options@great-yarmouth,gov.uk
If you are homeless or think you are at risk of being made homeless, you can get advice and assistance from your Local Authority. The Council has a dedicated Housing Options Service that can support you through this difficult time
To make an application you need to complete a short triage form (opens new window). Once completed an advisor will then contact you to gather further information and make an appointment if necessary. Not all appointments will be held face to face, the Council is moving to online meetings and phone appointments
If you are homeless now and have nowhere safe to stay, please complete the triage form and an officer will be in touch with you by 5pm. If this occurs outside of office hours, please call our out of hours service on 01323 690805 and an officer will give you advice and assistance, please be aware this may not result in you being accommodated
Any applications made outside of working hours and weekends will be assessed the following working day. Direct quote taken from Great Yarmouth Council website
Triage form online address: httops://www,great-yarmouth.gov.uk/ homelessness
There is a link on the above website address where you can fill out the triage form.
I have not got a phone or access to internet. What do I do?
If you do not have a phone, your best approach is by visiting the council in person.
There is limited computer access in the novus centre for customers. Alternatively, the library in the town centre has computers for public access
However, please speak to the council as your first point of call as they will be able to provide the best guidance on your situation.
