Top tips
- Don’t bury your head in the sand. Reaching out for help is the first step towards regaining control of your problems and will help reduce stress and anxiety.
- Seek help and advice at the earliest possible opportunity. It can take time to resolve homelessness so don’t wait until you have nowhere to go.
- It is often easier to help you stay in your existing home than it is to find a new home.
- Finding suitable accommodation in Guildford can be hard and many people need to look outside of Guildford to find a new home that they can afford.
