Move out of temporary accommodation into a long-term home

You should look for a private rented home while you're in temporary accommodation.  

Your Housing Inclusion Officer will help you and give you as much information as they can about finding a long-term place to live.

Our help may involve:  

  • giving you advice about how to deal with debt and make a budget
  • giving you advice about how to apply for benefits
  • showing you how to search for a home that fits your needs
  • discussing how looking in areas outside London will make it easier to find a property
  • discussing other organisations that can help
  • paying your deposit if you meet the criteria
