Immediate danger in the UK: call 999

Ask for police, fire or ambulance. Outside the UK, use the local emergency number. Do not wait for HomeBridge or an accommodation request.

Other urgent help

Urgent accommodation

Contact your actual council's housing service or your institution's official welfare team directly. HomeBridge is not an emergency service and no immediate shelter, room, response time or 24-hour staffing is promised.

When online, use GOV.UK's council finder with your postcode. In England, see official homelessness guidance. A city name alone may not identify the right authority.
