If you are worried about being homeless after leaving hospital, we can advise you.
Leaving hospital
Hospital departments have a duty to refer you to our homeless service if you will be homeless after leaving hospital.
In Cornwall, there is a dedicated Homeless Patients Advisor (HPA).
The HPA works within the hospitals to support and advise patients that may be homeless or unable to return to their homes.
If you are are an in-patient in Cornwall, and worried about where you will live when you leave please:
- ask to speak to the Homeless Patients Advisor
- follow the advice given by the hospital
The HPA will refer you to us and we will assess your situation. We may offer you temporary accommodation, whilst we assess your situation.
If you have a home but it needs adaptations, the The Home Solutions team can help you.
