LOCAL AUTHORITY NUMBERS
FOR ENGLAND AND WALES
Welcome to our database of all emergency out-of-hours numbers for Local Authorities in England and Wales. During office hours (9am-5pm Monday to Friday) you should call the relevant number. By law, homelessness teams operate 7 days a week, 365 days a year so you will always be able to contact them. Emergency numbers will work outside of the above office hours and on Bank Holidays.
You should contact the Local Authority that you normally reside in. If you are currently homeless, then this should be your first action.
If you are homeless in Scotland, please find the number by clicking here: Shelter Scotland directory
If you want to see the process that the Local Authority will go through after you get in contact, click here. (Opens a new window)
​
-
If you are homeless contact your council - they must look at your situation.
-
If you are homeless out of hours you should still be able to make an application.
-
Only one person needs to make the application per household.
