Homelessness Prevention

With high house and rental prices and a significant proportion of low-income jobs, particularly in the tourist industry, being able to find your own affordable accommodation can be difficult.

Stratford-on-Avon District Council has appointed a Homelessness Prevention Officer. The aims of the role are to improve and increase the prevention measures used by the Housing Service. It is also to raise awareness amongst statutory agencies and voluntary organisations across the District and to look at wider preventative measures.

If it would be useful to your agency or organisation, we could come and run an informative, awareness-raising workshop aimed at improving signposting and outlining options available to households experiencing housing problems.

Please contact us for further details of this free service.

For further information please contact the Housing Team on 01789 260850 or by email at housingadviceteam@stratford-dc.gov.uk or by fax on 01789 260860.

For emergency out of hours regarding homelessness only please telephone 01789 414066.
