Worried about being homeless?



Abuse in relationships can sometimes cause homelessness.

For those living at home, being in an abusive relationship can cause arguments and difficulties with parents, carers, or guardians.  It may seem like the only way of coping is to move out of home.

Sometimes people become homeless as the only way to stay safe is to leave the home they shared with their partner.   

Refuges are safe houses that are in places where they can’t be found.  If you are 16 or over and female you can access most Women's Aid refuges.

The National Domestic Violence freephone helpline number run by Women's Aid and Refuge is 0808 2000 247. If you contact this number they will be able to discuss the different housing options that may be available for you. 

If you are male and would like to find a refuge space then you can call the free national Mens Advice Line on 0808 801 0327.

If you are under 18 and need advice about somewhere to live then the website www.connexions-direct.com  has good information for young people.  The website www.after16.org.uk may also be useful for disabled young people.
