Am I Homeless?

Generally, homeless people are those who have nowhere to stay or will have nowhere to stay within the next 28 days. People also considered homeless might:

• Have no accommodation in this country or anywhere in the world to occupy
• Have the right to live in a property but cannot gain access
• Live in movable accommodation, like a boat or a caravan, but with nowhere permanent to moor or park
• Have accommodation but due to some exceptional circumstances it would unreasonable to continue to occupy this
• Live separately from someone with whom they would normally reside, because there is nowhere they can live together
• Have a home, but fear violence from someone.

Further evidence of applicant’s specific circumstances or a visit to current accommodation may be required.
