Local council

One of the most important things you can do with housing issues is to speak to a local council, they can do an assessment and plan the best steps for you to take.

Your local council can help you to sort out problems with your rent, arrange a payment plan if you are in arrears, find emergency housing if you are homeless and if you are unable to live at your home due to repairs needing to be complete, they may be able to assist you with a grant for these repairs to be carried out.
