Homelessness Support

Homelessness: Advice and Support

The Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 came in to force and places a legal duty on Tower Hamlets to offer more support to a wider range of people who are homeless or at the risk of losing their home.

This means that we are required to intervene from an early stage of your housing issue with the aim of preventing you from losing your current home, or to take steps to help you to secure accommodation.
