Temporary / Emergency Accommodation

Charnwood Borough Council will try and prevent people from becoming homeless wherever possible, but sometimes there will be no option but to place people to whom we have a duty to house into temporary accommodation. In some cases this will be empty council properties and in emergencies this may sometimes be Bed and Breakfast accommodation for a short period of time.

There are also a number of Hostels that provide temporary accommodation within the Borough. You can contact some of these yourself, but for others you will need to be referred by other organisations.
