Homeless or at risk

If you are homeless or have nowhere to stay tonight, please call or visit the Leeds Housing Options main office and speak to a member of the team. If you are at risk of being homeless within the next 56 days, please email us at housing.options@leeds.gov.uk.

Visit us

When you visit, try not to come near closing time. That way, the team will have plenty of time to help you as much as possible.

What happens next

If you are on the waiting list for a housing needs assessment, we’ll get to you as soon as we can. It may take up to 4 weeks for you to be contacted for your assessment.

After your initial request, we will arrange for a homelessness assessment and agree a housing plan. The assessment will take approximately 1 hour.

We will let you know in writing whether or not you are eligible for housing support.

The Migrant Access Project (MAP) is a council led initiative that works to to bridge the gap between services and communities by equipping new and emerging communities across the city with the knowledge, skills, networks, and experience to cascade key messages with their communities in first languages.

The project achieves this by facilitating bespoke training, with help from key service partners, to share information about a range of support. The training is themed according to key priorities; work and money, health and wellbeing, education and language, advocacy and advice, community safety and belonging, and housing and environment. In addition to MAP training, the project shares opportunities for attendees to exercise their voice and influence on key services within the city through consultations.

The project aims:

To increase newer communities understanding of life in Leeds and access to services.

To improve local neighbourhoods and strengthen community relations.

To connect communities and services to build capacity and improve partnership working.

To increase community voice and influence (community engagement, service development, social cohesion approaches and civic participation).

An 8 week training programme (2.5 hours each week) is regularly delivered through the project to train new Migrant Community Networkers.
