Before you apply for help

Gather as many of these documents and information as you can. 

Details about you and your household 

We need: 

  • personal details, nationality, health and support needs for yourself and all members of your household 
  • details of your current housing situation and why you need help  

Proof you’re being evicted 

For example: 

  • a letter from your landlord saying you must leave 
  • a letter from the friend or family member who has asked you to leave. The letter must include their name and contact details 

Passport or other form of ID 

We need this for every member of your household. A passport is best, if you have one. 

If any member of your household is not a British citizen, we need proof of their immigration status.  

Proof of your income for the last 3 months 

For example: 

  • payslips 
  • every page of your benefits statements 
  • bank statements
