Online forms unavailable
Our online forms will be undergoing maintenance, and may be intermittently unavailable from 7am on Sunday 6th April until 8am on Monday 7th April. We appreciate your patience.
On 1st October 2018, the Homelessness Reduction Act (2017) introduced a new requirement for specified public bodies. This means they have a statutory duty to refer any service users they think may be homeless, or threatened with homelessness, to the local authority.
If you are working with someone you believe is homeless or at risk of homelessness, you can complete our online referral form.
You can still make a referral even if you don’t work for one of the listed organisations. We'll accept referrals from any organisation.
Fill in the form to make a referral
Read the Homelessness Code of Guidance on GOV.UK (the Duty to Refer is explained in Chapter 4).
