Homelessness
What should I do if I am homeless?
If you are homeless or think you may become homeless in the
next 2 months you should contact your
local area team, or the Housing Advice Centre as soon as you
can.
It is very important that you get in touch straight away as we
may be able to:
- prevent you losing your home;
- offer you somewhere to stay;
- help you find other accommodation;
- arrange short term accommodation, and
- contact other agencies able to help you.
What happens when I get in touch?
We will arrange an interview with a trained officer. We
understand that being homeless is a very difficult situation. Our
services are free, confidential, professional and
understanding. Our staff are fully trained to offer all information
and advice you may need.

Diversity
Perth & Kinross Council's Homelessness Service is proud to
serve a very diverse population of our region. We are happy to
provide translations of documents and arrange for an interpreter if
English is not your first language.
