Accommodation services
What is emergency housing?
Emergency housing, also known as emergency accommodation, is short-term housing for people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. It gives someone a safe place to stay straight away while a longer-term home is arranged.
It can take different forms, including supported housing, night shelters and temporary placements arranged by a local authority. For many people it is the first step away from rough sleeping and towards the support and settled accommodation they need.
