Our Helpline is here to prevent young people from becoming homeless. It is a completely free service. We know that Monday is the busiest day for calls to the Helpline, so please keep trying if you aren’t able to get through immediately. We are busy, but we are here to help. Or you can use our email service below and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Applying for help when you're homeless or at risk of homelessness is not always easy or straightforward. We're here to help: if you need to speak to your local council about applying for homeless help, whether you're a care leaver, fleeing domestic violence or have dependents, you can find Centrepoint's template letters for these issues and many others below.
