Housing Options Advice

We can help with:

• affordable housing
• money matters
• private renting
• landlord and tenant issues
• relationship breakdown
• supported housing
• homelessness 
• Domestic Abuse

With the introduction of the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 the Council is now required to provide bespoke advice on several specified groups which may require additional support and advice. Those groups are as follows:

• care leavers
• people currently at risk of domestic abuse
• people leaving hospital
• people leaving prison
• people leaving the Armed Forces
• people suffering from mental health issues

We have created a series of pathway leaflets to address the these requirements:

• Care leavers pathway (PDF, 69KB)
• Domestic abuse pathway (PDF, 71KB)
• Leaving hospital pathway (PDF, 70KB)
• Leaving prison pathway (PDF, 70KB)
• Leaving the armed forces pathway (PDF, 72KB)
• Mental health pathway (PDF, 70KB)

The Act also requires the Council to provide a range of factsheets covering several topics such as:

• help available to remain in your current accommodation
• help available to secure alternative accommodation
• how to make an application for Housing (Homelessness) assistance
• what temporary accommodation we have in Cheshire East
• what other advisory services are available in Cheshire East
• what Supported Accommodation there is in Cheshire East

A factsheet covering the this information can be downloaded and printed off as required.
