Homelessness
Homelessness - Help and Advice
Winchester City Council provides a Housing Advice service for people who are homeless or threatened with homelessness along with those who are seeking housing advice with regards to alternative housing options. They do not have to be our tenants.
Another important aspect of the Housing Advice service is to ensure that the City Council's residents are aware of their housing rights with the aim of preventing homelessness wherever possible.
The Housing Advice service is designed to provide information for people in houing need so that they are able to make informed decisions regarding their housing options
