Housing advice and resettlement service

Most prisons or youth detention accommodation centres have a housing advice and resettlement service. The probation service may also be able to help.

• They will help you submit your housing application and, if appropriate, arrange a phone assessment with a specially trained housing advisor
• The housing advisor can provide advice and information on your housing options

It’s important that you speak to a resettlement worker as soon as possible, which will allow you more time to prepare.

Prisons now have a Duty to Refer to us at Housing Options
