Temporary Accommodation
Family Services
Emergency and Temporary Accommodation
Homelessness can happen to any family. We work in partnership with the Housing Executive to provide temporary accommodation for families until they are offered a social home or find a suitable private rental.
How to access this service?
The Housing Executive is responsible for providing accommodation for anyone who is legally homeless, and we can only take referrals for our family accommodation services through the Housing Executive.
If the Housing Executive has no duty to provide you with temporary housing (has not awarded you with FDA), they may ask you to contact us directly. Even if we cannot provide family accommodation, we will talk through your options and offer advice and guidance where we can.
