Housing and homelessness

The Housing Advice Centre is part of Newcastle City Council. We offer a free, confidential advice service to anyone that has housing problems. We aim to help people to keep their home. Or help them to find one that meets their needs. We can help you to understand the different options that are available in Newcastle, to solve your housing problems. 

Staff at the Housing Advice Centre can:

• prevent a homelessness situation from occurring, wherever possible
• explain the processes of homelessness prevention
• assist in locating alternative accommodation,
  • such as a housing association,
  • local authority,
  • or privately rented property
• provide you with information and advice on your options

There is a wide range of advice and support available in Newcastle. The Housing Advice Centre can help you, or the person you’re working with, to understand the different options available to solve housing problems. The earlier you get in touch, the more likely it is that you can get help.
