Housing Advice

What does it do?

Visit our webpage at https://www.somersetwestandtaunton.gov.uk/housing/housing-options-and-homelessness/housing-advice/

We have a duty to provide advice and assistance on a wide range of housing-related issues to those who may be at risk of homelessness.

We will offer you free information and advice based on your circumstances and work with you to prevent you becoming homeless.

We can intervene in a variety of situations, whether you are in social housing or privately rented accommodation. For example, we can help you to stay in your home if you have been asked to leave, are experiencing difficulties with your landlord or living in substandard housing. We will let you know what support is available to help you resolve the issues and take action to prevent your homelessness. If remaining in your home is not an option we can consider, we will offer you help to find alternative accommodation.
