Homelessness and Housing

Housing

For information about housing, please visit the Southend-on-Sea City Council website.

Homelessness

The legislation around homelessness has changed with the introduction of the Homelessness Reduction Act (HRA 2017). This places more emphasis on the assistance each council in England can offer people who have experienced, or are about to experience, homelessness.

If you are at risk of becoming homeless, have already become homeless, or need help finding emergency accommodation or support, please see our preventing homelessness information. Here you will also find information about leaving hospital, prison and help with landlord issues.

The Housing Solutions Team can provide a range of support. Visit the Southend-on-Sea City Council website to see how they can help.
