To access temporary accommodation provided by Broxbourne Council, you'll first need to check if you qualify for assistance based on your housing situation. If the council acknowledges a duty to help you, they may offer you temporary accommodation, but keep in mind that options are limited and some may be outside of Broxbourne.
Here’s a summary of the steps involved:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Contact the Council | Fill out the request form for help and support. You’ll need to provide personal details like your contact info, immigration status, and reasons for seeking accommodation. |
| 2. Participate in creating a PHP (Plan) | If the Council accepts a homeless duty, they will work with you to create a Personalised Housing Plan (PHP) that outlines both your responsibilities and theirs. |
| 3. Understand Limitations | Be aware that the Council has limited accommodations available, most of which may have shared facilities and some could be outside of the local area. |
| 4. Look for permanent housing | While in temporary accommodation, you are expected to search for a permanent solution like private rented housing. |
| 5. Accept Offer Carefully | If given an offer of temporary accommodation, it's crucial to accept it because it's typically a one-time offer; refusal could mean losing assistance. |
