Hi I've been homeless since April 1st after leaving rehab.

Council won't help as they say I have made myself intentionally homeless.

I claim LCWRA and really need help finding somewhere to live.

Any help or pointers would be massively appreciated.

    Have you spoken to Shelter at all?

    Hi @patmick that's awful, I hope you have somewhere safe temporarily? I've added below several links to charities that might be able to offer support and guidance.

    Please take care,

    Bless you @patmick I'm so sorry you had your phone stolen. It's such a shame the council won't offer you any support. Shelter have a Greater Manchester team who hopefully can help you. I've added the link to there page here - Services at Shelter Greater Manchester - Shelter England

    Please keep us up to date with how you're getting on and take care of yourself. Things will work out, keep strong.
