Worried about becoming homeless

You do not have to be sleeping on the streets or not have a roof over your head to be considered homeless. Most people who are legally homeless are not on the streets.

We understand that the risk of becoming homeless can be a very worrying and stressful time.

You may be threatened with homelessness because of the following:

• private tenancy ending
• parents or relatives have asked you to leave
• rent or mortgage arrears
• relationship breakdown

Get in touch

If you need housing advice, are at risk of homelessness or are homeless and have nowhere to stay, the most important thing you can do is contact the Housing Options Team on 01263 513811 or email housing@north-norfolk.gov.uk as early as possible. The more time we have to help you, the greater the chance we have of working with you to resolve your housing situation.

We can assess your circumstances and, where applicable, book you an appointment to come in and meet with one of our Housing Options Officers to discuss the different housing options available.
