Get help with housing

If you're experiencing or at risk of homelessness, you need to make a homelessness application with your local council to receive housing support. Social Bite can’t solve housing issues and homelessness requests directly; we’ve signposted organisations that can help below:

London has 33 local councils covering different areas. If you’re currently in London or a city not listed above, you can find your council using a postcode at gov.uk.
