Helping you to keep your home
Your home is a place of safety, a haven, a base from which you live your life. When you think your home might be taken away from you, for whatever reason, that can be difficult and frightening.
We understand that some of the reasons why your home might be at risk are:
- a difficult situation with your landlord
- relationship with your neighbours
- you and your partner are breaking up/have broken up
- problems getting on with your family
- can't pay your mortgage or have major debt problems
- you aren't accessing all the in work or out of work benefits to which you are entitled.
- loneliness, isolation and feeling low
- the physical condition of your home - inside and out needs to be improved
- health problems
- you think you are drinking too much or taking drugs to the extent that this is affecting your housing
If you are worried you might lose your home for one or more of the reasons listed, we might be able to help you.
