Watford's support groups for individuals facing homelessness have specific age requirements. If you are aged 16 or 17, your primary contact should be the Homeless Hub, which offers advice and emergency accommodation options. For those aged 18 to 24, the Homeless Hub continues to provide support. Individuals over 24 can receive advice from the council and other support services.
Here's a summary of age requirements for the support groups:
| Age Group | Contact/Service | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 16 - 17 years | Homeless Hub | Provides housing advice, emergency Crashpad accommodation if available. |
| 18 - 24 years | Homeless Hub | Offers free housing advice and support. |
| Over 24 years | Watford Borough Council & New Hope | General advice and support available for finding alternative housing. |
| Men over 25 | GROW | Support for those with complex needs such as substance misuse. |
