Homelessness

You are homeless if you haven’t got a suitable permanent home.  You might think that only people who sleep on the streets are homeless but Northern Ireland has a large number of “hidden homeless”. If your home is unsuitable for you to live in, or you have no right to stay in it you could be classified as homeless.

Social services may be able to help with housing. They can only help with homelessness in certain cases, such as if you're under 18 or very vulnerable.
