North Lincolnshire Council's Housing Advice Team (HAT) aims to stop people becoming homeless whenever possible and will make every attempt to help people keep their current home. In many situations where homelessness is a possibility, depending on what accommodation you're in, you may have rights to stay there, at least for a while longer.
- Do not leave your home before getting advice.
If you find yourself in this position the sooner you contact us the better. If you've been asked to leave, getting early advice and help is essential.
The Housing Advice Team can help by:
- Providing effective housing advice
- Helping people find other accommodation
- Contacting landlords where necessary
- Arranging mediation if appropriate
- Talking to benefits or simply speak to family and friends
- Advising on tenant's rights and responsibilities.
- Assessing the person's entitlement to be housed as homeless
- Finding accommodation for those entitled to it
- Providing advice and help to those not entitled to be housed.
