Whether you are facing immediate eviction or find yourself in an unsafe living environment, Solstice Haven is your advocate and guide.

If you have received an eviction notice or are struggling to keep up with rising costs, we provide guidance on legal rights and referral to tenancy protection services.

Currently Homeless

For those sleeping rough or without any stable place to stay, we provide direct links to emergency night-beds and immediate placement assessments.

Unsafe Environments

If your current accommodation is no longer safe due to domestic violence or hazardous conditions, we prioritize secure and confidential referral pathways.

We specialize in connecting families and vulnerable young adults to suitable Family Hubs and age-appropriate temporary accommodation providers.

What to Expect

Entering the emergency accommodation system can be daunting. We are here to clarify the path ahead:

  • Local Authority Role: We assist you in fulfilling the mandate to register with your local regional office (DRHE).
  • Ongoing Advocacy: Our guidance doesn\'t stop at the referral; we advocate for your long-term housing needs.

"Solstice Haven stood by me when I didn\'t know who to call. Their team walked me through the DRHE process step-by-step and made sure I had a bed that very night."
