We are here to support with any concerns you have about your housing, including exploring your housing options. Please do check the advice about social housing on our website including:

· who can get social housing and how to apply
· checking you have the right priority or ‘banding’ on the waiting list
· challenging a waiting list decision
· options if you need to move to a different council or housing association home
· whether you could pass on your tenancy when you die

Something BIG is popping up around Hyndburn…

Our Big Accrington Sleep Out banners are officially out and about, helping us spread the word about one very important night.

On Friday 23 October, Shelter Lancashire and Maundy Relief are joining forces at Accrington Stanley for a night under the stars (and hopefully not too much rain!) to raise vital funds and awareness for people experiencing homelessness.

One night. Two charities. One vital cause.
Because no one should face homelessness alone.

If you see one of our banners, take a pic, share and tag us because every pair of eyes on these banners is another potential supporter, fundraiser or future sleep-out survivor!

THANK YOU to the generous team at Scott Dawson Advertising for their support of our event. We appreciate you.

Registration is just £10 and every penny raised will help support people facing homelessness. Want to know more? 👉 https://BigAccringtonSleepOut26.eventbrite.co.uk

See you there?

New figures released this week show that 19 people died while homeless every week in England and Wales last year.

19 people dying every week is unspeakable. That’s 974 people in 2025.

A safe home is something we all need to live well. But with homelessness at record levels, thousands of people are being left without this most basic human necessity.

Ending homelessness must mean more than getting people through the night. People need safe emergency accommodation, specialist support and, crucially, permanent and genuinely affordable social homes where they can truly rebuild their lives.

Andy Burnham: It's time to end the housing emergency.
