Housing advice

Avon & Bristol Law Centre offers specialist housing advice for people in Bristol and the surrounding area. If you have applied as homeless to the local authority and feel that an incorrect decision has been made then we may be able to assist you. We cannot advise on Homechoice banding.

You can also get advice and support from dedicated housing advisors at Shelter.

Alternatively, you can look for advice about housing and homelessness on the Bristol City Council website.  Please note that the content relating to housing and homelessness is currently under redevelopment.  This is to reflect significant legislative changes that are coming into force from April 2018.

If you receive a negative decision from the Local Authority, or they cannot assist you, you can contact the Avon & Bristol Law Centre, AFTER you have contacted the Council.
