What is homelessness?
Being homeless does not always mean that you're living on the street.
Help from the council
If you are homelessness, you can ask your local council for help.
Making a homeless application
The council will look into your situation to see if you pass certain 'tests'.
Accommodation when you're homeless
If you have nowhere to stay, the council should offer you temporary accommodation.
Helping someone on the streets
The most obvious and apparent consequence of becoming homeless is when you see someone sleeping rough.
