Homelessness
Who should I contact if I am
homeless?
By law, the Council has a duty to provide people who are
homeless or threatened with homelessness with advice and
appropriate assistance.
If you are homeless or threatened with homelessness you
should contact Dover District Council
straight away.
There are free phones at the area
offices to contact the Duty Housing Officer who is
based at Dover Gateway, Castle Street, Mon-Fri 9am-4pm
where you can talk to a trained Housing Officer about your
situation and what can be done to help you.
The Housing Officer may be able to prevent you from losing your
home (if you have one). If you need help outside of office hours
please telephone 01304 821199.
When you are interviewed you will be asked how you became
homeless or why you are likely to lose your home. You should take
with you any documents that you have which would be useful to help
to explain what has happened such as a notice to quit or mortgage
account.
