Duty to refer
Some public services have a legal duty to refer people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to the council. If you work in one of these services, find out how to make a referral.
Refer without duty
Even if your organisation doesn’t have a legal duty, you can still help.
Professionals and voluntary organisations can refer someone with their consent. Your referral could help prevent a crisis.
I want to help someone at risk
If you’re worried about someone sleeping rough or someone you know is at risk of losing their home, you can take action.
