Temporary accommodation if you're homeless
You can get homeless help from any Scottish council if you're homeless. They must give you temporary accommodation if you have nowhere safe to stay.
Temporary accommodation must always meet safety standards. If the council decides you should be offered a permanent home, you can stay in temporary accommodation until they make a suitable offer.
