Check if you can apply for homeless help

You can apply to us for help if you are:

  • homeless or at risk of being homeless in the next 56 days (8 weeks)
  • aged 25 or over, or have children aged under 18

You will also need your National Insurance number.

If you have already lost your home and have nowhere to stay tonight contact us for emergency help.

If you are aged under 25

You should contact St Basil’s if you are under 25:

  • with no partner and no children under 18
  • with a partner also under 25, with no children under 18

If you don’t have a National Insurance number

If you are from abroad and do not have a National Insurance number you can contact the Refugee Centre.

If you have a National Insurance number but don't know what it is you can check GOV.UK for help to find it.
