Storage, transport and pets
What will happen to my furniture and belongings?
We can help you arrange the storage of your possessions if you
are homeless or threatened with homelessness and can't do it
yourself.
At your initial homeless interview we will ask about your
belongings. If necessary we can uplift and store them as
long as you stay in temporary accommodation.
We will ask you to pay for this service, the charge will vary
depending on the amount of furniture needs to be stored. We will
also take into account your financial circumstances and ability to
pay.
Can you help me with transport?
We know that in a crisis situation travel to the
place you stay or to appointments is a big issue. To help with that
the Homeless Service has introduced a bus travel vouchers
scheme. In emergency situations outwith normal working hours we can
arrange a taxi for you.
What will happen to my pets?
Unfortunately you can't keep your pets in a hostel or Bed &
Breakfast. We can arrange a place to stay for your
pets if you are unable to do it yourself. If you stay in a
self contained temporary flat you may get a permission to
keep pets. Your occupancy agreement will have more details, but you
always have to to get a written permission from the
Temporary Accommodation Team Leader. Your Temporary Accommodation
Officer will be able to help with this.
