Housing or Homelessness advice

 

Are you at risk of being homeless?

If you require housing or homelessness advice, you will need to:

• Create an account - you will need an email address.  
• Verify your email address.
• Complete your profile set up.
• Complete the housing register pre-assessment (please note our housing register is currently closed.  If you have an urgent need to join the housing register, please make this clear in your pre-ssessement application).
• Complete your family and address details.
• Complete the housing advice/homeless triage form.

Once you have submitted our new triage form.  Your situation will be assessed by a Housing Advice Officer and you will be contacted within 5 working days.  If you are homeless today a Housing Adivce officer will contact you today.

If you do not have an email address 

 

Setting up an email address is quick and easy to do. The most popular providers are gmail.com, outlook.com and yahoo.com.

In the address bar at the top of your browser, type the address of the email provider you want to use, then do the following:

• Visit the email providers website and select the option for 'create account' and provide the necessary personal details.
• Create a password- it needs to be something you will remember, but shouldn't be easy for others to guess.
• Make a note of any security questions you answer as these may help you reset your password if you forget it.
• Agree to the terms and conditions of the provider.
• Once you have completed the process, you are ready to use your email address to send and receive emails.   

If you do not have a place to stay tonight or are at risk of being homeless soon, please contact the Housing Advice Team as soon as possible by completing the triage form or by calling 01243 534734. 

If you are made homeless in an emergency situation outside of office hours, please contact the out of hours number on 01243 785339.

Housing Register

 

Our Housing Register is currently closed to new applications.  If you are not currently on the Housing Register but believe your housing need is urgent, please complete the form https://www.chichester.gov.uk/article/39676/Urgent-housing-register-request 

Examples of an urgent housing need could include:

• Structural damage to your property that is causing a high level of danger to yourselves.
• An emergency medical need resulting in the inability to manoeuvre around your property safely. E.g. the ability to no longer be able to climb stairs.
• Under-occupying by two bedrooms or more within Registered Provider accommodation in the Chichester District.

We are in the process of reaching out to customers who have a live Housing Register account with Chichester District Council and asking them to re-register on this new Chichester Homemove portal. This will be done is phases, with customers being contacted over the next seven weeks via email. This email will contain information helping you start the re-registration process.

For customers who do not have a working email address, we will attempt to telephone you.

We are aiming to have contacted all our customers who need to re-register no later than mid-May.
