I'm becoming homeless tomorrow and I need help?

Question

tomorrow i will become homeless with my girlfriend, we moved down to London 1 month ago and although we both work our money has quickly vanished on travel expenses and accomodation. We get paid at the end off each month.

Our friends off whom we are staying with at the moment will be leaving London tomorrow and after that we will no longer have a place to stay.

If any one can help, I'm asking from the bottom off my heart, PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Hostel, you better find one quickly

good luck hunny,

Answer 2

you need to ring the council asap, they will put you up in a hostel, then you need to find a low cost flat to live in, but you will need a deposit. easier said than done, but it sounds like you dont have many other options to me.

Answer 3

sorry to hear about your troubles, but you got in this mess in the first place,first you have to stand on your own two feet for a change,and stop putting on friends,be firm with your money don't buy what you dont want,i hear it very expensive down there to live ,cant you go somewhere outside of London to find a flat,any way good luck to you both,but there are folk worse off than you,at least you have a job each.   :)

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

You could go to a YMCA, or a shelter. Your gf could go to a womens refuge

Answer 10

I would but I live in Manchester.

Answer 11

Go to your local council, they should be able to help you.

Answer 12

Yous will need to go to a Hamish Allan Centre or the Salvation Army. How did you get in this predicament.

On time I went crazy with anger due to personal politics and resorted to buying a cheep tent and stayed out in a field in the middle of nowhere. As long as you have food and clothes you will survive, desperate times calls for desperate measures.

Good luck my friend.

Answer 13

Oh as a mum my instincts tell me you should go home. If you have family don't be embarrassed, go where you are repsected and loved.  Again there may be circumstances that makes this not possible. Start with the Citizens Advice Bureau and see what they can come up with.  You are both working which should be in your favour.  I truthfully am not aware of the situation in London but in most places there are council accommodation available, albeit not in the best of areas. However, this would be a roof over your head. Your next best thing is finding a hostel but remember that is only helping you out temporarily. I take it you are young and perhaps very vulnerable. PLEASE watch you don't fall in to bad company through this. I have only meantioned Citizens Advice but surely colleagues in your places of work who have resided in London long terms can point you in the direction of Housing Associations or whatever?  Will be thinking of you and wish you all the best. Hopefully soon you will post on here and let us know what has became of you. I for one will be looking out to hear from you......trust it will be a happy ending. God Bless!!!

Answer 14

Sorry for your troubles.  I wish I were in London to help you.

Answer 15

Go to the local housing office Look in the phone book under the borough you're living in) fill in a form and tell them you're about to be homeless.

They may not have a property to move into today, but will help you find a hostel etc plus you'll be on the list for a place.

Answer 16

Hostels can put you up for £10 a night

Answer 17

Ahh dude... that's kind of crazy. I suggest sleeping in cheap motels.

Answer 18

how long have you known your friends will be leaving london? and why are you on here asking this question? u should goto ytour local Citizen advice , and ask them, to be honest u really have left it way to late to find accomodation i'e a flat or apartment, do you know family who will take you in until u find somewhere suitable? if you both work, then u shouldnt have a problem making ends meet for a flat and bills, if u cant get help from family and friends, then i suggest a few nights at a hostel until both of you get ur fingers out and look for somewhere! even if it is a bedsit, at least its something for now! get your names down on the local counsel list for housing to!

Answer 19

I'm truly sorry for your circumstance. Have you tried a church? Some churches sponser people until they are able to get back on their feet. I will pray that you are able to find food and shelter until you can get yourself put together again.

Good Luck !

Answer 20

Go into a hostle. There are plenty about.

Answer 21

Start hoarding newspaper, and cardboard boxes. Winter is almost over, you can make it.

Answer 22

Hostels?

Answer 23

Maybe you should stay at home and work to get money.Money would be great.

Answer 24

Sorry about your situation, I live in manchester and I cannot help. Can you not tell colleagues at work about your situation? Can you not stay with any of them? If not I can only suggest to go to the council there and tell them. They will have a homeless prevention team who will let you stay in a hostel and find you a house. Good luck
